William Babington Tree MRICS

William is a Chartered Building Surveyor and has developed a wealth of experience across various sectors of the built environment. His career started in 2004 having worked for a local independent property management company, in a role which required adaptive thinking and reactive resource planning.

From here William kindled a passion for property solutions and decided to further upskill his competency by studying a BSc (Honours) degree in Building Surveying, via part time study. Managing a busy workload to achieve a balanced work/study/personal life came as second nature and he graduated with a 1st class honours in 2011. During this time William joined a national property consultancy as a consultant and nurtured client relationships whilst building knowledge and expertise across numerous business functions.

In 2013 an opportunity arrived for William in the Healthcare sector and he took a position working as an Estate Management Surveyor delivering capital, planned & reactive property services across a large and diverse portfolio.  He has a natural instinct for empathy, making sure end user requirements are fully understood and delivered throughout the project lifecycle, and without compromise.
