Ben Sullivan

A self-driven Quantity Surveyor with over nine years’ industry experience delivering effective cost control and contract management across housing, commercial and refurbishment sectors. Gaining higher education on a part-time basis alongside full-time employment has accelerated my professional development, strengthening my technical, commercial and practical skills. I relocated to Bristol to expand my experience as a Quantity Surveyor, gaining exposure to a larger and more commercially diverse construction market. This move enabled me to develop my skills further by diversifying across a broader range of projects. I am now seeking to return to Scotland to apply this enhanced experience and contribute effectively within the Scottish construction sector.
