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.

The Role

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.

Key responsibilities include:

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

About You

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

You will ideally have:

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

Why Consider This Opportunity?

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
