Our values highlight that we’re in business for the public good and not purely to make a profit. We acknowledge the importance of developing our people both as a business and as a social imperative. Our people deliver for us, and so our focus is on supporting them.
We provide the encouragement and inspiration that will ensure you achieve your potential and deliver the best possible service on behalf of our clients.
“Building Control is a fantastic sector of the construction industry to work in. Having spent part of my career in the Armed Forces I can think of no other civilian role which utilises the transferable skills and qualities of Service leavers more than that of a Building Control Surveyor. You’ll deal with a greater range of construction projects than you would if in any other role, and see through projects from concept to completion.” - Simon Heywood, Managing Director
