RJA Consultants are Chartered Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers and Clerks of Works.

Our mission is to provide an excellent quality service to all our clients… and to go that little bit further to really make a difference.

We are experienced across all sectors of the construction industry and offer the following services:

• Quantity Surveying
• Cost Management
• Employer’s Agent services
• Project Management
• Bank / Fund Monitoring
• Clerk of Works services

There are lots of good construction consultancies across the UK. Generally, what differentiates the good ones from the average ones is the people.

At RJA Consultants we work hard to inspire our people to be the very best they can be, and we are dedicated to growing the business to ensure our people can grow and advance with us.

RJA Consultants are one of the fastest growing construction consultancies in the Midlands.

By focusing on our twin targets of ‘happy clients’ and ‘happy staff’ we have enjoyed unprecedented growth over the last three years.

In October 2022, RJA surpassed the 50 employee mark. This was a huge milestone in our growth plans. However, since then, we have recruited a further 6 members of staff, including 2 Senior Chartered Quantity Surveyors, a new Clerk of Works and we have boosted the business support function in our admin team.

One of our newest recruits, Administration Assistant Mira Gopal described her first few days at RJA. She said:

“Everyone is very welcoming and encourages me to get a pastry before everyone else! No one hesitates to give advice or help in times of need."

We are very proud of our staff. We work hard not only to recruit the best, but also to provide the training and opportunities to ensure everyone is focussed and motivated.

We are fully committed to training the next generation of surveyors and for the third-year running have been shortlisted as a finalist for Outstanding Apprentice of the Year Employer by Nottingham Trent University with the winner announced on 10th May. Watch this space!

We currently employ seven apprentices across the Level 6 Quantity Surveyor Degree Course at NTU. We are delighted with the fantastic progress every apprentice has made in their time with RJA.

RJA Consultants is a registered practice with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and we encourage all our surveying staff to strive towards chartered status.

We have several members of the team who are working towards their Assessment of Professional Competence, and we have a dedicated programme of training and support to help them achieve their goal.

All APC candidates are appointed an in-house Supervisor and training sessions are held monthly to ensure the right experience is being provided and the designated competencies appraised and signed off.

Everyone works hard at RJA, but we like to think there’s more to life than work.

Fridays at RJA are ‘Feel-good Fridays’ –

It’s not only dress-down day, but it’s also ‘Pastry Friday’ as a wide selection of pastries, cookies, other treats (and fruit!) are shared amongst the staff.

And of course, everyone finishes an hour early on Friday to start the weekend in earnest.

The social secretaries have been busy planning new activities for the team to try and these are a few of our recent events.

Every year we select a charity to support as a company and our team find many ingenious and varied ways to raise money.

RJA has a Corporate Social Responsibility Programme to support activities that enhance and serve the communities in which we live and work.

The programme allows our staff paid time off to give back and support the community. At the same time, we recognise that participating in these sorts of activities enriches the lives of the participants.

RJA Consultants not only employ Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors from our two offices in Leicester and Nottingham but also have ten full-time, dedicated Clerks of Works dotted around the UK.

Led by the Associate Clerk of Works, Jason Corey, all of our Clerks of Works are specialist construction quality inspectors. With Clerks of Works spread across the country from Yorkshire in the North to London in the South, this ensures we can provide a truly national coverage of inspection services.

Jason Corey, Associate Clerk of Works, said:

“Our Clerk of Works are an essential part of the services offered by RJA. There are many roles we fulfil on a daily basis”
