Construction Consultant/Surveyor of the year

Sponsored by Hays Construction

Prosurv consult

Prosurv Consult has seen a consistent rise in turnover, profit and staff numbers since it was set up in 2004. In the last year alone, the firm has increased turnover by 21% and turnover per full-time technical employee is up 10% since this time last year. The group has grown to such a degree that it has needed to re-locate to self built offices - a project entirely self funded - to accommodate such a rapid increase in staff numbers - 17% in just one year. This growth has been fuelled by a succession of high-profile project wins including acting as employers agent and quantity surveyor on a new 拢400m Swansea University Campus building. Prosurv Consult has successfully secured workload for the next three years - all based on repeat business.

Judges described Prosurv Consult as 鈥渁 dynamic company鈥� and picked out its strong financials against such a tough economic backdrop as a real sign of the firm鈥檚 strength. They added that such high levels of repeat business was another key indicator of the group鈥檚 strong reputation and ability to deliver, all of which has resulted in a strong outlook for 2012.
