About Rider Hunt
A Legacy of Excellence Since 1895
Our story is woven into the very fabric of the UK’s built environment. While our origins date back to 1785, Rider Hunt emerged as a dedicated identity in 1895, making us the longest-established quantity surveying firm in the City of London. We still operate from our historic offices at Bridge House, Blackfriars—the same location we’ve called home since 1909.
When you partner with us, you aren't just hiring consultants; you are accessing over a century of institutional knowledge. We have been the steady hand behind some of the country’s most iconic landmarks, from the County Hall on London’s South Bank to the Control Tower complex at Heathrow Airport.
Why Property Professionals Choose Us
We understand that your project isn't just a building—it’s a significant investment. Our approach is proactive and deeply personal. We don't believe in off-the-shelf solutions; instead, we focus on understanding your specific constraints of time, cost, and quality to provide a bespoke service that adds genuine value.
