Did you know that the origins of quantity surveying trace back to the early 18th century? Back then, it was common for surveyors to prepare detailed bills of quantities by hand - a labour-intensive process carried out by candlelight during the dark winter months. These meticulous documents were essential for ensuring that tradesmen could properly plan and budget for projects, even during the festive season when work often slowed 🎄 In fact, as Christmas approached, it was customary for early surveyors to gather with builders and craftspeople to review plans and agree on material estimates before the New Year. This collaborative spirit not only set the tone for efficient project management but also fostered a sense of community and shared purpose, a tradition that still resonates in the profession today. So, while quantity surveyors of today might use advanced software and technology, the profession’s roots remind us of a time when teamwork and precision were just as vital - even in the glow of a flickering festive candle! #CQSSolutions #QuantitySurveying #FestiveSeason #ConstructionManagement

One of the best teams, one of the best players, one of the best Senior Quantity Surveyors is required to make a difference and get their career moving in the right direction. No Prima Donna’s - none of this; "I was an Assistant Surveyor last month and now I’m knocking on the door for a senior badge", you’ll have to earn your stripes and be rewarded accordingly. Southern Patch - for a change. This would suit a solid character, someone prepared to do a days work instead of wheel spinning. The career growth for the right person is off the scale. Serious contenders should book some time to speak with me. All calls are scheduled, that’s how it works. We find time, we discuss your career aspirations, I work out if you’re any good and we go from there. One thing is for sure - I don’t get it wrong very often with people’s careers and I’m not about to mess up my excellent placement record any time soon. No - I don’t want your CV. I want to learn more about you and how I can help improve your situation. If you mention working from home in the first 20 mins, it’s game over. There is some flexibility and sensible working practices, but it’s not a holiday camp. SeniorQS.co.uk
