The win follows Javaad also being recently named as Emerging Property Person of the year at the Insider Media North East Awards, adding to a string of significant professional achievements since launching the firm in 2020.

The ceremony, held at Hilton London Hyde Park, recognised the inspirational and diverse young surveying professionals in the UK, with all finalists and winners showcasing the highest standards of professionalism and innovation within the built environment.

Javaad has been described by judges for the awards in an official statement which said: “At 26, Javaad set up a RICS Accredited consultancy; a move that was seen as ambitious whilst the industry was still coming to terms with the pandemic. Javaad has demonstrated how he can successfully develop a business as well as provide a technical service whilst managing construction developments on behalf of numerous clients.

“Giving back to the profession is such an important part of self-development, this candidate has gone above and beyond.”

Justin Sullivan, chair of the Construction Industry Council, who judged the award, said: “Javaad’s nomination really stood out to us as he has achieved a impressive amount of success in his career to date, including undertaking senior roles with significant responsibility, setting up his own firm and becoming a highly inspirational young professional for the next generation of surveyors.

“His clients had fantastic feedback, and it is clear that Javaad flies the flag for minorities working in construction and regularly mentors other young aspiring construction professionals. Javaad is an established professional who is well respected by his peers and clients – he certainly has an incredibly bright and prosperous future ahead and we’re looking forward to seeing what else he can achieve.”

Following his award-win, Javaad said: “Being named as the RICS Young Surveyor of the Year for Quantity Surveying and Construction is definitely a highlight of my career. Consult North has gone from strength to strength since we launched in 2020 and being acknowledged by the RICS for the hard work which has gone into developing the business and the projects we have completed has been very rewarding.”

Javaad has quickly climbed the career ladder following graduation and qualifying for his RICS membership at the age of 24. At 27, Javaad launched his own RICS Accredited consultancy, Consult North, showcasing his ability to successfully develop a business as well as provide a technical service.

Javaad has successfully assisted a wellknown local business in its ambitious expansion agenda with the efficient acquisition or investment of a number of sites as a result of his efficient and responsive Quantity Surveying services. A spokesperson for one particular client said: “Javaad has played a major role in supporting us in delivering our new site acquisitions and investments. We look forward to continuing our journey with Javaad in the future with many more fantastic and successful projects.”

As well as being the Managing Director of his own RICS accredited firm, Javaad’s dedication to futureproofing the industry and in supporting the next generation of talent was also recognised within his awards submission. Javaad is regularly invited back to Northumbria University to deliver guest lectures to property and construction degree students, as well as APC Councillor duties undertaking Quantity Surveying Degree Apprenticeship course. This, alongside his members to the RICS Matrics Committee, allows Javaad to offer career advice and APC support to those looking to take their chartership interview, from young people to those changing careers.

His clients went on record for his submission to state that: “Javaad has always taken great interest and made us feel that our projects are extremely important to him. Understanding our portfolio has helped to develop a strong relationship of trust in the advice and information which he provides to us.” Another client said: “We are hugely impressed with the positive attitude and professionalism that he has brought to our projects. His pro-active and commercially minded approach is a breath of fresh air and we are looking forward to working with Consult North for many years to come.”
