What Matters Most In This Role

Instructions are generally split 50:50 between professional and contract work, the majority of work is in relation to existing building often with a landlord or tenant aspect. Contract work can typically range from £10k to £2.5 million where we can be performing in the role of designer, contract administrator, project manager or a hybrid of all three. In addition, we perform the role of project manager of multi‑discipline teams for instructions typically ranging from £2.5 million to £20 million. Work is typically split about 50:50 between work from the property management portfolio and work with clients where we do not have a management brief. Our clients are principally large institutional firms and property companies, such as Threadneedle, BlackRock, CBRE Global Investors, Goodman, Hansteen, Hammerson, Hermes, Intu, and Land Securities. We have an internal CAD team who do the majority of our drawing work but that apart we try to give all building surveyors a mixture of work – our experience is that the best surveyors are those who are the most rounded.
