With a close-knit team of 10 split evenly across Project Management and Quantity Surveying, they punch well above their weight—competing with much larger firms while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture. The consultancy is people-focused, offering flexibility, rapid progression opportunities, and a strong commitment to professional development (including in-house RICS mentorship and CPDs).
