Paul Black

With over 40 years’ experience in private practice, I am a member The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and an associate member of the Association for Project Safety. As the marketplace has evolved, my quantity surveying skills have developed and expanded to provide employers agent, project manager, and principal designer services.

I also have skills in stock condition surveys, life cycle costing, asset management, and provided QS services to Community Enterprises.

Commissions for projects have varied in value from £15K to £47M.

More about me:

• I’m married with two grown-up children, and Frankie - our pug-with-personality.
• My career highlight so far has been securing the post contract commission on a 369 nr unit housing project running over 4 years.
• I’m a pragmatist. I’m also a good negotiator and listener.
• There’s no such thing as a “normal day” and, for me, that is the beauty of what I do.
• I love to travel, and I’ve visited USA, Mexico, Cuba, Barbados, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, China, as well as sun-sea-sand destinations across Europe.

A little known fact about me:
I recently resurrected my vinyl collection and invested in a new system.

What I cannot function without at work:
Coffee, water, calculator, pen, and notepad.

My guilty pleasure:
I’m an avid Kindle reader.
