If you’re considering a career in the construction industry, there are a myriad of positions you can choose from. Many start with apprenticeships, working their way up through the ranks whilst training on site. This approach now involves classroom learning as well. With over 50 years of combined experience between us at Adies York Ltd, we’ve learned our specialised trades in a variety of ways, coming together as a team of professional house builders to provide our clients with a range of domestic and commercial building services. These include house extensions, new builds, and construction project management in York and the surrounding areas.
CALL US TODAYChartered surveyors are the professionals you turn to for advice relating to property issues – potential purchases, for example. They will inspect and value homes, premises and units on your behalf, listing any defects or structural issues they come across, offering their experienced opinions on whether or not the sale will be a sound investment. Using a chartered surveyor at the initial stages could save you a considerable amount of money in the long run.
There are differences between surveyors and chartered surveyors. The former may not be regulated by a leading body, whereas the latter are. Chartered surveyors in the UK are regulated by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), with MRICS or FRICS after their name. The work they carry out on your behalf is officially recognised as having been completed to extremely high standards and in line with the strict code of ethics required by the RICS.
Applicants for this role should already hold a degree in building surveying. Other applicable subjects include economics, geography, mathematics, science, social science, and urban studies. It will help to have a practical approach to your work, using logic and technical know-how to communicate problem-solving solutions and advice.
The roles carried out by a construction project manager are listed on our dedicated project management page, and performed by Adies York Ltd as part of our professional domestic and commercial building services. As house builders, we work on small house extensions and extensive new builds. As project managers, we oversee the smooth running of these residential projects as well as taking the roll to larger developments and major contracts in York and the surrounding areas. These tasks can be carried out as an individual service as well.
It is advised you show excellent organisational skills along with evident competencies in communication, leadership, time management, and risk assessments.
Degrees in project management are available throughout a variety of educational institutions, along with supplementary courses and on-site training. Official certification for trainees is available through the Association of Project Managers (APM) or the Project Management Institute (PMI).
