Employers - stop guessing. Start hiring strategically.

Most Quantity Surveying hiring simply doesn’t work. Companies rely on job ads and outdated construction recruiters, hoping the right candidate shows up. That’s not a strategy—it’s a gamble.

The solution:  clearnorth complete - our strategic hiring model gives you a five-step, structured process we call NORTH - that locks in top-tier Quantity Surveying professionals before they even start looking, attracts them and then keeps them in your business.


  • Precision hiring, proven process – no noise. No inefficiencies. Just a structured hiring system that delivers results.
  • Your competitive edge in Quantity Surveyor hiring – in a market where the best candidates aren’t applying, you need a repeatable, data-driven hiring strategy. We built it first.
  • No more reactive hiring – you don’t wait until you’re drowning to buy a life jacket. Stop hiring in panic mode. Start hiring strategically.

The 2026 QS forecast

By Rebecca Robinson • November 5, 2025
The 2026 QS forecast: where the market’s going; and how to stay ahead The QS world is changing fast. Rates, demand, project pipelines, all shifting at once. But most Quantity Surveyors are still making career decisions based on 2023 data. Our new report, The 2026 QS Forecast , lifts the lid on what’s coming next, and what it means for your career over the next 18 months. 👉 Download it here: clearnorth.co.uk/the-2026-QS-forecast The market has moved, quietly You might not feel it day-to-day, but the landscape is already different: Regional rates are diverging. Permanent salaries are catching up to freelance. Major contractors are locking in talent earlier to protect delivery. If you’re not tracking these shifts, you risk getting caught in a flat spot; same workload, same pay, less leverage. The forecast shows exactly where the movement is happening , and how top-tier QS's are positioning themselves to benefit. What you’ll find inside 📈 Where the money’s moving: regional rate forecasts and sector hot-spots. 🧱 Who’s hiring (and why) : which projects are still growing, and where stability sits. 🔁 Freelance vs perm : how the balance is shifting, and what that means for security. ⚠️ Career risk signals : early indicators your current setup might be under pressure. 🧭 Strategic next steps :practical ways to future-proof your value before the market tightens. This isn’t a job board report. It’s intelligence. Built for people who take their career as seriously as the projects they deliver. Why this matters now By mid-2026, the commercial landscape will look nothing like it does today. QS's who prepare now; who understand where demand, rates and stability are heading, will have more control, more choice, and stronger negotiation power. Those who don’t? They’ll be reacting to someone else’s plan. Stay ready, not reactive The best careers aren’t built on luck. They’re built on clarity; knowing what’s next and how to use it. The 2026 QS Forecast gives you that clarity. Read it before the market catches up. 👉 Download the full guide: https://www.clearnorth.co.uk/the-2026-QS-forecast  clearnorth. The QS People.
