Quantity Surveyor

Quantity Surveyor

Bespoke Residential Builder | Outstanding Reputation for Quality

I'm delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded, privately owned residential builder known for delivering exceptional, design-led homes. This is a rare opportunity for a mid-level Quantity Surveyor to join a close-knit team where quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail genuinely come first.

This builder operates in the high-end bespoke residential market, working on a small number of carefully selected projects at any one time. They have an enviable reputation with architects, consultants, and repeat private clients, and are now looking to strengthen their commercial capability with the addition of an experienced QS.

You will take commercial responsibility for multiple bespoke residential projects from pre-construction through to final account. This is a hands-on role offering real autonomy and exposure to the full project lifecycle.

• Preparing cost plans, budgets, and cash flows
• Procurement of subcontractors and suppliers
• Valuations, variations, and change control
• Cost reporting and forecasting
• Managing interim applications and final accounts
• Working closely with site teams, designers, and clients to protect both quality and margin

I'm keen to speak with Quantity Surveyors who value quality over volume and who enjoy working in a collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment.

• 3-6 years' experience as a Quantity Surveyor
• Experience in residential construction (bespoke, high-end, or small-to-medium developers strongly preferred)
• Strong commercial awareness with a practical, solutions-focused approach
• Excellent communication skills and confidence dealing directly with clients and subcontractors
• A genuine appreciation for high-quality construction and detail

Join a builder with an outstanding reputation and repeat client base.

Work on unique, high-quality residential projects rather than volume housing.

Small, personable team with direct access to decision-makers.

Real opportunity to grow with the business and shape the commercial function.

Competitive salary and package, reflective of experience.
