Some of your day to day duties and responsibilities will include:
  • Operate a full range of building surveying instructions on a variety of commercial properties, including offices, retail and industrial
  • Our clients are principally large institutional firms (pension funds, insurance companies etc.) and property companies
  • Instructions are typically split about 50:50 between professional work and contract work. Nearly all work is in relation to existing buildings often with a landlord/tenant aspect
  • Professional work will include Schedules of Dilapidations (usually acting for the landlord), pre-acquisition surveys, party wall awards, defect diagnosis, planned preventative maintenance reports, reinstatement cost assessments, and retail delivery schedules of condition
  • Contract work can typically range from £10k to £2.5million 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 £2.5million to £20million
  • 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
  • Main clients currently include 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
