Property and construction consultancy McBains Cooper has appointed David Guy to head up its operations in Scotland.
Mr Guy, who will be based in McBains Cooper's Glasgow office, joins after working his way to senior management roles in some of Scotland's leading building and property consultancy businesses including CB Richard Ells - where he was director - and Savills and GVA Grimley.
'McBains Cooper is an 'inter-disciplinary' consultancy, which is deeply distinct from the more common multi-disciplinary operations. The difference is seamless operation between teams working together for one business, as opposed to teams from different organisations brought together by a project manager, and which can often mean a clash of cultures and the consequent inevitable delays - and rising costs,' said Mr Guy.
'It's the way forward in terms of both cost and time efficiency, and, I believe, an approach to professional consultancy services - building surveying, architecture, cost management, structural, civil and engineering - that will play a significant part in driving recovery in the building and related industries in Scotland,' he added.
