We have a fantastic relationship with this specific Main Contractor who started out in the late 90’s and are known as a high-end quality builder. They pride themselves on retaining staff and have a fantastic family culture. With offices in the City of London, they are easily accessible, and all projects are within Zone 1-3.

At £20million in Turnover the term “Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity” is widely used across the business. The Directors pride themselves on repeat business and “Doing things the right way”. Projects include a mixture of High End Residential and Commercial Fit Out. The schemes are typically no bigger than £3million.

We are currently looking for a Quantity Surveyor to join the business. Our client has picked up 2 projects from an architect they have worked with closely over the years and need a Quantity Surveyor who will start out working on a £2.5million Refurb of a Luxury Private home in the Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.

If you are sick of working for a Major contractor and looking for stability this could be for you.
