RICS<\/a> have held their Matrics yearly awards, with Lauren Lemcke, a senior project surveyor for AECOM, winning two of the eleven awards<\/h2>\n

Lemcke has received both the Matrics Surveyor of the Year award as well as the Construction Surveyor of the Year award.<\/p>\n

The awards are intended to honour the achievements of up-and-coming surveyors.<\/p>\n

Most of the winners this year were women<\/h3>\n

Across the 11 categories, six of the winners were women in the 2024 awards, in spite of the fact that they make up just 18% of surveyors in the UK.<\/p>\n

Lemcke attended the University College of Estate Management, where she graduated with a master’s degree in quantity surveying, before working for MGAC, a project, cost, and construction management consulting firm.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year she joined the London office for AECOM as a senior project surveyor.<\/p>\n

In her role, Lemcke led the cost consultant services on significant Grade II listed heritage projects such as restoring Madeira Terraces and the Grand Hotel along Brighton’s seafront.<\/p>\n

She has also implemented a new carbon-assessment as part of her career as a construction lifecycle assessment specialist and BREEAM associate, and has trained cost consultants in implementing RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment.<\/p>\n

The awards put the spotlight on surveyors at all points of their career<\/h3>\n
