PROPERTY firm Galbraith has strengthened its building consultancy division with two new appointments.
David Shine joins as a project manager in Inverness, with a focus on rural and commercial construction projects, while George Price has been appointed as a graduate building surveyor based in the firm’s Edinburgh office.
Peter Scott Aiton, partner and head of the building consultancy division at Galbraith, said, “I am delighted to welcome David and George to the firm at a time when we are seeing growing demand for specialist technical expertise across Scotland. Our clients are investing in a range of innovative projects, from refurbishment of premium office premises to major new-build construction projects in the leisure, retail and industrial sectors.
“The noticeable growth in property investment has also led to an increase in the number of professional instructions for our team, with Galbraith undertaking several acquisition and occupier surveys in connection with prospective landlord and tenant deals.”
David Shine added, “I am excited to join a leading, multi-disciplinary building consultancy with a commitment to excellence. I look forward to contributing to its continued growth, by offering expert project management services and advice to our new and existing clients to help them to achieve their goals.”
Prior to joining Galbraith, David spent eight years in the army as an officer in the Royal Engineers where he managed a variety of military construction projects both in the UK and abroad.
George has completed an MSc in building surveying and has recent experience as a graduate building surveyor in the sector. Galbraith will support him through his assessment of professional competence examinations from the RICS to become a chartered surveyor.
