ABOUT AVALON
Avalon is a multi-disciplinary construction and property consultancy, delivering comprehensive professional advice on all building related matters to Clients and industry colleagues.
Avalon began in 2000 as the surveying practice Robert K Muir Ltd. Robert had worked in the construction industry since the age of 18 when he began working with his father, and became highly experienced in the delivery of construction projects for private, housing association and local authority Clients, qualifying as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building.
Robert became a member of RICS member and chartered building surveyor in January 2003 and the company became a chartered building surveying practice regulated by RICS. By this time the company had grown to a team including Robert’s son Benjamin, who began working as an Assistant Building Surveyor in 2004.
Following the devastating South East Asian tsunami, Robert and Benjamin together formed the UK registered charity BuildAid. The charity specialises in building schools, orphanages and medical facilities in the areas that make the most impact. More about the charity here.
Benjamin achieved a Higher National Diploma from Anglia Ruskin University and a BSc (Hons) Building Surveying degree from the University of Reading and was appointed a Director of the company in 2014. The company has grown in activity and complexity of engagement, but remains an independent family-run practice which prides itself on offering a personal Client relationship whilst being capable of delivering larger-than-most levels of service delivery.
Our coverage extends nationally when specific complexities or other considerations demand, but is otherwise focussed in London and the South and East of England.
