Emma
Railton-Hoad MRICS
Managing Director

Hawk Surveying was founded by owner and director Emma in 2014. Her 17-year career covers a wide range of diverse projects from specialist private residential schemes, to hospital refurbishments, high-end educational facilities and aviation works.

Emma’s drive to set up her own consultancy and quantity surveying practice came from her commitment to add value to the projects and teams she works with. She is motivated by proving the ability to save time or money without compromising on the project output.

Emma is the lead consultant, in communication with every client, supported by an experienced and dedicated team of quantity surveyors.
