Construction firm builds a bigger team

Award-winning construction consultancy, Bhangals Construction Consultants, is expanding with the appointment of four new members of staff. The new recruits include two trainee estimators, a client service administrator and a social media executive.

Parm Bhangal, managing director at Bhangals Construction Consultants, started the business in his bedroom at the age of 22 after completing a degree in quantity surveying. It now boasts two offices – one in Northampton and one in London – and 20 members of staff. 

Six years ago, he also launched a sister company called My Build Estimate which offers an estimating service to contractors.

The new estimators have been brought in to help manage the growing demand for estimating services. They will carry out daily duties, such as estimating, liaising with clients and suppliers, reviewing documents and assisting quantity surveyors.

“Recruiting estimators has historically been a challenge for us,” said Parm. “We found that through changing our recruitment model to employ two junior estimators at a time, we have a buddy system in place that boosts training and increases performance.”

Joe Reynolds is one of the new faces in the estimating team. Despite having never done anything like this before, he is already thriving within his role.

Joe said: “Since I started working for Bhangals Construction Consultants, I have been made to feel extremely welcome by the team. I had very little experience in the role as an estimator when joining, and I feel I have come a long way in such a short time of being here thanks to the brilliant training I have received.

“The company is a true privilege to work for due to their renowned credibility in the estimating and construction industry. I look forward to the future of my career working for Bhangals, and I am excited to continue my learning in the field.”

Client service administrator, Scarlet Price, is already an asset to the sales team, looking after clients and ensuring they receive the best possible customer service. Scarlet also carries out administration tasks such as printing, invoices, preparing documentation ready for the estimators to ensure the project process runs smoothly throughout the business.

“From day one, the entire Bhangals team has been fantastic and very supportive,” Scarlet said. “Since starting my role, I really do feel like I have joined a family due to the team atmosphere we have in the office. I always wake up in the morning excited, ready to get up and see the team and speak to our lovely clients.”

The company’s new social media executive will be tasked with looking after the ever-growing Bhangals Construction Consultants social media platforms, which have a dedicated following.

“We are absolutely delighted that our team is continuing to grow,” added Parm. “It is hugely important to us that our recruitment process is considered and thorough, to ensure that we hire staff that fit with our company values and ethos. We’re proud to welcome these new recruits and working together to provide the best possible service for our valued customers.”
