Survey, diagnose and restore — bring your building surveying expertise to some of London's finest residential and historic properties.

At Architecture Social, we partner with respected building surveying practices, heritage consultancies and specialist residential firms across London who need building surveyors with experience in period properties, listed buildings and high-value refurbishments. Our clients advise private homeowners, developers and housing associations, and they consistently seek surveyors who combine technical rigour with a sensitive understanding of traditional construction. We maintain active shortlists in this discipline, ensuring that your profile reaches the right practice at the right moment.

What our clients typically ask for:
— MRICS qualification or working towards APC with demonstrable building surveying experience
— Skills in conducting building surveys, condition reports and dilapidations assessments
— Experience advising on defect diagnosis and remedial strategies for residential and historic buildings
— Ability to manage refurbishment projects from inception to completion including specification, tendering and contract administration
— Knowledge of traditional construction methods, listed building regulations and conservation best practice
— Experience providing party wall advice and acting as party wall surveyor
— Proficiency in AutoCAD, NBS and Microsoft Office

If your surveying career is built on a passion for buildings — understanding how they were made, why they fail and how to make them right again — we want to hear from you.

Why register with Architecture Social? Building surveying roles in the residential and conservation sectors are often filled through specialist networks, meaning many opportunities never reach mainstream job platforms. By registering with us, you gain early access to these roles along with a consultant who understands the technical demands and professional development pathways in your field. We represent you with care and only make introductions where there is a genuine alignment of skills and culture.

How to apply: Send us your CV along with details of your key project experience. A specialist consultant will be in touch to discuss your career goals and the type of practice you are looking for, and we will contact you as soon as the ideal opportunity presents itself.
