Naismiths was founded by George Naismith in 1963. He worked as a quantity surveyor before his commercial consultative approach became invaluable to companies hampered with insolvency issues.

Over time, his clients not only wanted a trusted advisor for their project monitoring, but insight and expertise across the entire property lifecycle.

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, in 2023 we launched the UK’s most comprehensive analytics and insights platform on construction project data N3 Analytics. We have worked on over 10,000 jobs as a business, this fully digitised platform distils data from live projects complemented by historical data to show the strongest picture of cost benchmarking in a simplified, accessible and standardised way.

In 2024, we formed a partnership with Edmond Shipway Ltd, part of Cornerstone Group Holdings Ltd, enhancing our service portfolio to include an M&E and Sustainability Consultancy. This collaboration leverages our strengths to offer clients a wider range of professional services.

Team Values

These three pillars are the cornerstones of the Naismiths company culture. Our teams work with these principles in mind and strive every day to create a collaborative business of talented individuals that is always improving to meet the needs of our clients.

We Cultivate

We create long-lasting partnerships, with the highest quality data and talent, to provide the best results for clients.

We Continuously Improve

Our Vision

To be leaders in data-led project monitoring, building consultancy and restructuring and advisory services to the construction industry, supporting better decision-making at every stage of the building lifecycle.

What our clients say about us

At Naismiths, we recognise how important it is to hear directly from our clients. Testimonials play a vital role in the work we deliver and reinforce the trust we build with every project. By sharing their experiences, our clients help us maintain the highest standards whilst supporting the continued growth and long-term success of our business.

Whilst the ability to pick up the phone and speak directly to the member of the team involved with the deal is highly beneficial, it is the breadth of knowledge and experience that makes Naismiths one of our top panel surveyors.

Corporate Finance Director

The sheer volume of M&E services on a €233m Center Parcs Holiday Village is staggering. The M&E team understood every single detail they needed to deliver an outstanding outcome. The end result gave us buildings that were properly lit, heated, cooled, powered and controlled in exactly the way we wanted. We have no doubt that this was brought about through solid technical experience and dedication from the top of their business. We are delighted with the outcome and would have no hesitation in considering them again on future projects.
