A significant amount are listed buildings too. Projects are typically between £1-15m, either heavy refurbishments or bespoke new build schemes working alongside top rated architects.

Candidates willing to apply must have a Quantity Surveying degree (RICS accredited & UK awarded) with some tangible UK cost consultancy experience (to a maximum of 2 years) – and dependent on experience, you’ll principally be supporting others on a number of exciting commercial projects across the business, but you’ll be managing schemes if your talent / proven track record allows.
