Property management, agent and surveyor firm Maillard & Co has announced that Elliot Miles has become a Chartered Building Surveyor.
He received the Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS) qualification upon completing the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence.
Mr Miles’ surveying career began in March 2020. He received his master’s in Building Surveying from the University College of Estate Management in September 2022, before joining Maillard & Co in November 2023.
He also holds a degree in Sports and Exercise Science from Oxford Brooks University.
His experience spans repairs, maintenance, extension, conversion, refurbishment of existing stock and new builds of property types, including residential, commercial offices, retail and industrial.
The firm said Mr Miles’ accomplishment not only “elevates his own career”, but also “enhances the entire practice”.
Mr Miles was also recognised by his APC coach Alpesh Patel, of APC Coach Ltd, who awarded him a medal for his “excellent work while preparing for the APC”, especially noting his approach when navigating Storm Ciaran.
“It was difficult to engage contractors to undertake much urgent and substantial work,” Mr Patel said. “It was his professional approach to dealing with end clients, policyholders, and insurance loss adjusters that he managed to secure the best position for all his clients.
“His transparent approach advising on all the options available with analysis covering all aspects of time, cost, quality and risk stood him on good ground in all respects.”
Chris Marsh AssocRICS, Managing Director of Maillard & Co, said: “Elliot’s hard earned RICS accreditation brings added confidence and trust to our clients, and strengthens our team’s commitment to the highest professional standards.
“Congratulations from all of us here at M&Co, Elliot.”
Mr Miles described achieving chartered status as a “challenging yet rewarding journey”.
“I’m incredibly grateful to Alpesh, Chris and the entire team for their encouragement. I look forward to applying my new expertise to deliver exceptional service and quality across our projects,” he added.
