Dan Parker
Quantity Surveyor
Bio: Dan has a degree in Civil Engineering and over 4 years’ experience as a Quantity Surveyor, working on everything from small projects for a marble contractor to large projects for London Underground. It's Dan's job to make sure that every project is carried out within budget and that the client is always getting good value for their money.
Strengths: My unbridled enthusiasm to crack on with things (I try really hard with everything I do) and excellent problem solving abilities.

Luis Robles
Quantity Surveyor & Estimator

Luis brings a great deal of technical knowledge to the AG Surveying team and has since been involved in surveying and estimating for numerous large and small building projects.
Strengths: Being a perfectionist and attention to detail.
Superpower: Certified Merengue and Bachata dancer. I'm also a really good Spanish speaker.

Gabriel Sosa
Assistant Quantity Surveyor & Estimator

Assistant Quantity Surveyor & Estimator
