The Cladding Matters podcast brings together professionals, experts, and industry leaders to discuss building compliance, cladding remediation, and resident engagement, delivered with humility, wit and passion. Today we say hello to Damian Campbell, a Quantity Surveyor student and integral member of the Intelligent FS team.

We’ll be exploring the personal insight into the world of qualifying as a quantity surveyor and the decisions facing our young people when they consider balancing university with work experience. We’ll discuss SKEBs in Construction and how this fits or doesn’t fit with the journey of obtaining formal qualifications.
