We are a dynamic team of approximately 25 Reinstatement Cost Assessment Surveyors who specialise only in this niche area of work. Many of the team are from quantity surveying backgrounds, but equally there is a good balance of experience from other backgrounds too. As such the team has expertise in a wide range of construction forms and property sectors. Over the last number of years, we have enjoyed unrivalled growth as a team in terms of turnover and also in terms of our head-count. We have a very high retention rate when it comes to our people and we believe this is because of our strong sense of team, the fun and collaborative working environment we have created, the great clients we collaborate with, and the care we take in trying to develop and promote our people.

• Undertake Property inspections – site inspections comprise taking site notes, noting construction specification, building services, fixtures and finishes, as well as external works; taking evidential photos; taking full site measurements or check measurements of buildings and external areas, to relate back to floor plans.
• Undertaking Measurement – we place great importance on measuring accurate Gross internal Areas for every property we assess. This will involve using digital measurement software such as CostX.
• Pricing – the requirement is to build up an assessment to provide a figure which will be the cost of reinstatement for the entire premises, in their present form, making allowance for any additional work required such as site clearance (including removal of hazardous materials), temporary works to ensure safety of the public and any adjoining buildings, prescribed fees, party walls and professional fees in line with the RICS guide.
• Cost Research – To keep our cost knowledge up to date, you will be required to gather and analyse cost data from a number of sources including online cost databases and publications, internal cost publications, costs provided to us by our developer clients and the like.
• Travel – the properties we assess are located all over the UK, EMEA and sometimes globally, but a great deal of this work is centrally managed out of London, so a big part of the job is being happy to travel to these sites.
  
  

• Excellent organisational skills. You will need excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to clearly communicate with people of all levels of seniority.
• You will need to be diligent and pro-active with the ability to prioritise and act on your own initiative.
• Excellent organisational skills and exceptional attention to detail are required.
• RCA experience is an advantage, but your personality, attitude, commitment and ability to communicate and work within our team and with our customers would be a greater priority. A willingness to learn and be part of a team is essential.
• A flexible approach and willingness to travel around the UK, Europe and Globally where necessary, is required.
• You should know your way around Microsoft Office. Experience of using measurement software would be an added advantage.
• You will need to have a full driving license.
