What Clients Say About Us

“Naismiths were a great asset to the project team and went over and above our expectations in their role as Employer’s Agent for our Hanover House project. Their communication was excellent, they were always available to give updates and kept us well informed throughout. I would not hesitate in recommending their Building Consultancy services.”

James Parsons - Development Project Manager

WeWork

“Naismiths provided expert project management and technical support in defect remediation and dispute resolution matters to conclude a long-running distressed project, which included a successful defence to an Adjudication. The team worked closely with our legal team to provide clarity, direction and insight across an array of complex technical matters, incrementally de-risking our position and finally concluding in a settlement very much in favour of the client.”

Simon Redman - Director of Finance & Corporate Services

Royal Pharmaceutical Society

“Zorin have found the Naismiths team to be very professional and pragmatic in their approach to business. Their reports are concise and easy to follow but at the same time make sure all the salient points are covered and all relevant issues highlighted.

We have been particularly impressed in their response to urgent deals which is crucial to us when we are under pressure to close a transaction. Moreover, they are great people to do business with and very approachable.”

Andrew Scotting - Head of Loan Origination

Zorin Finance

“We have worked with the Naismiths team for several years, and appreciate that they can provide local and national hands-on advice with a wide range of expertise, thereby providing us with an excellent level of service whilst being pragmatic and commercially minded enough to satisfy our very demanding client base.”

Ferheen Parkar – Credit Manager

EFG Private Bank

“The Naismiths team provide advice, guidance and support to both the Bank and their clients throughout each project, providing an efficient, diligent and professional service from start to finish.”

Lee Daniel – Business Development Director

Close Brothers Property Finance

“I have worked with Naismiths for getting on for 20 years, and have always admired their professionalism, fleet of foot and practicality in both assessing and certifying new projects, and, in those few unfortunate cases where the loan has gone bad and the lender is seeking to get his money back, in providing first class guidance and assistance to ensure maximum returns are achieved. Naismiths are, and will continue to be the monitoring surveyor of choice for the Building Society, and I look forward to working with them for many years to come.”
