Job description

Quantity Surveyor
West London | High-Quality Residential Refurbishment | Permanent or Freelance | Jan 2025

Join a contractor delivering high‑quality refurbishments, extensions and bespoke renovation projects across Kingston, Richmond, South West & Central London, and Surrey.

They operate with a £3m annual turnover, delivering projects typically ranging from £500k to £2m. With architects, an interior designer and site managers already in place, they are now seeking a Quantity Surveyor who can support both estimating and post‑contract commercial delivery as the business formalises two operational divisions.

This is a hands‑on role within a growing, owner‑managed company where you'll work directly with the Directors and play a key part in shaping commercial structure, subcontractor coordination and project delivery.

The Role

• Provide commercial support across live refurb, residential and interior projects
• Prepare valuations, variations, subcontractor accounts and cost reporting
• Support estimating: take‑offs, pricing, tender enquiries and early feasibility work
• Help coordinate subcontractors as the business establishes a subcontract‑delivery division
• Work closely with the Directors, Architects and Interior Designer on design‑led schemes
• Assist with project management duties to ensure smooth, well‑controlled delivery
• Implement structure, clarity and consistent commercial processes across the business

What they’re looking for

• Quantity Surveyor with some estimating capability
• Background in residential refurbishment, extensions, basements or small‑to‑medium construction projects
• Commercially aware and confident supporting both pre‑con and live project duties
• Someone who thrives in a smaller, hands‑on environment with real ownership
• Organised, reliable, adaptable able to take weight off the Director’s shoulders
• Open on level: strong intermediate or established QS

The Company

• Design‑led residential refurbishments
• Extensions, reconfigurations and bespoke interiors
• Small development schemes
• Subcontract‑delivered projects coordinated in‑house

Their ethos is collaborative and customer‑centric, with an emphasis on attention to detail, considered design solutions and high‑quality materials.

The two business partners bring over 30 years’ combined experience and have worked together for nearly a decade.

They hands‑on leadership ensures exceptional build quality, a high standard of customer service, and a respectful, considerate approach to clients’ homes and communities.

With the business now expanding to two divisions, this is a rare opportunity to join at the right moment with influence, visibility and genuine long‑term potential.
