PWH Surveyors Ltd

Based in the heart of Barnstaple, we are a multi-disciplinary Chartered Quantity and Building Surveying consultancy serving the South West. For over 35 years, our team has been the steady hand behind successful developments, providing reliable, timely, and professional advice that turns complex construction goals into reality.

Whether you are a property developer, a contractor, or a homeowner embarking on a major renovation, we bridge the gap between technical theory and practical application. We don't just provide reports; we provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing your costs, risks, and quality are being managed by experts.

Practical Roots, Professional Standards

Our leadership brings a unique perspective to your project. Our Director, David Hillman (BSc(Hons) MRICS AaPS), has over 25 years of industry experience. Uniquely, David originally qualified as a carpenter and joiner before becoming a Chartered Quantity Surveyor.

This "boots on the ground" background means we understand how buildings are actually put together, not just how they look on a spreadsheet. This practical insight allows us to spot potential issues early and provide more accurate, realistic costings than a purely desk-based firm.

Comprehensive Cost Management

As the cost managers of your construction project, we add value by managing the development equation from feasibility to final account. We specialise in:

• Pre-contract Estimating: From preliminary budgets based on unit costs to detailed elemental cost plans.
• Tendering & Procurement: Preparing Schedules of Works and Bills of Quantities to ensure you get competitive, accurate quotes.
• Post-contract Support: Managing contractor payments, valuing variations, and providing "live" monthly cost reports so you always know your final anticipated spend.

Delivering Projects Across the South West

From supporting Padstow Town Council on community works to managing new builds in Ashford, our track record speaks for itself. We are proud of our reputation for clear, concise documentation that architects and clients alike find exceptional.

"The content is clear, concise and extremely helpful. It was exceptional value for money." — Dr S Baggott
