Theresa Elesmore-Everiss
Principal Building Control Surveyor
BA (Hons) HNC C.Build E MCABE
Initially I joined Cook Brown Building Control in August 2018 as a Senior Building Control Surveyor to allow a little more flexibility rather than my previous daily commute in and out of central London. This has benefited me personally as the role has given me a valuable work-life balance – being able to do the school runs in the morning and being closer to home rather than being in the city daily, is something which my children have benefitted from too.
I was promoted in January 2020 as a Principal Building Control Surveyor which has enabled me to develop my career as well as continuing with my daily duties as a surveyor. I am assisting the Technical Director to manage a team and to be more active in the day to day management of the London office.
