Quantity Surveyors are in short supply, while the Construction industry is one of the first sectors to feel the full force of the recession, it is among the last to show signs of recovery

Surveyors and Estimators are receiving the highest increases within this sector, showing a clear demand for more people, according to a leading construction recruitment agency.
The construction sector accounts for about 6% of the UK economy, and things are looking brighter in the sector than at any point since the recession hit in 2008.
2015 was recorded to be the best year for the UK Construction Industry in almost 20 years.
And a recent study has shown that the UK Construction Sector will need to recruit 400,000 construction professionals every year to keep up with demand.
