We own and manage some of the most significant buildings and structures in the country. Over 28,000 in total with histories spanning over 800 years. With world-class conservation standards, our building surveying teams cover everything from day-to-day maintenance to the delivery of £multi-million redevelopment projects. Right now, we’re investing record sums into improving our special places, delivering ahead-of-the-game sustainability initiatives, property refurbishments and a number of exciting new-build projects. The breadth of work you’ll get involved in as a Building Surveyor here is beyond compare.
We’re investing in our Building Surveying teams as much as we are in our properties, and we’ll make sure you’ll never stop learning and progressing here. Working with like-minded, equally passionate professionals, no two projects are the same and each will bring its own challenges, its own opportunities. We’re committed to helping you further your career and we’ll support you to attend a wide range of courses and gain relevant professional qualifications. If you’re looking for challenging and rewarding surveying work on some of Britain’s finest buildings, you’ll feel professionally at home here.
