Why It's Hard to Find Quantity Surveyors in Essex

Experienced QSs with strong contract administration skills and sector-specific knowledge are in short supply. The best commercial professionals are typically employed and require headhunting to reach.

Essex rates are competitive with the wider South East market — proximity to London supports strong day rates.
