About Us:
We are a growing construction company undertaking domestic renovations, extensions, and occasional new builds in the Hindhead /Haslemere area. Our reputation is built on quality, integrity, and exceptional client service. With a strong and consistent demand for our services in the local area, we're looking for an experienced Building Surveyor to join our team and help manage the pre-contract side of our expanding project portfolio.
Role Overview:
As our Building Surveyor / Estimator, you will take ownership of the pre-contract phase – meeting clients, conducting surveys, preparing detailed scopes of work, and producing accurate cost estimates. You will play a key role in shaping projects from the first enquiry through to handover to the site team, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and client confidence at every stage.
This is a client-facing role suited to someone who is technically strong, commercially aware, and enjoys working closely with homeowners to develop and define their building projects.
Key Responsibilities:
* Attend client meetings and site visits to assess requirements and provide professional advice.
* Carry out measured surveys and prepare detailed scope of works, specifications, and supporting documentation.
* Produce accurate and competitive estimates and cost plans for renovation, extension, and new build projects.
* Identify potential risks, constraints, and value-engineering opportunities during the design and pricing process.
* Prepare tender documents and assist in the procurement of subcontractors and suppliers.
* Liaise closely with clients, designers, and the internal project management team to ensure smooth transition from pre-contract to delivery.
* Monitor project progress, budgets, and timelines, proactively addressing any issues with the site team.
* Ensure all proposed works comply with relevant building regulations and company quality standards.
* Provide technical input and advice to clients throughout the pre-construction process.
Requirements:
* Proven experience as a Building Surveyor, ideally within residential construction, renovations, or extensions.
* Proven track record of producing accurate and detailed estimates/quotations for residential projects.
* Excellent client-facing and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical information clearly.
* Strong knowledge of building methods, materials, and current regulations.
* Proven ability to produce detailed scopes of work, specifications, and accurate cost estimates.
* Highly organised and methodical approach to documentation and reporting.
* Proficient in Microsoft Office and ideally familiar with CAD or estimating software.
* Relevant surveying or construction qualification preferred but not a requirement. (e.g., RICS accreditation or equivalent).
* Full UK driving licence.
* Due to the local nature of our projects, applicants must live within approximately 15 miles of Hindhead.
What We Offer:
* A collaborative and supportive working environment.
* Competitive salary and benefits package.
* Company vehicle for site visits (following successful completion of 6-month probation period).
* Opportunities for career progression and continued professional development.
* A diverse range of interesting, high-quality local projects.
* A chance to take a leading role in shaping and growing our business.
