Property agency launches building consultancy division

Birmingham property agency KWB has launched a new Building Consultancy division and appointed an experienced building surveyor to run it.

Akim Kamangira becomes Head of KWB Building Consultancy, a new company in the KWB Holdings group, set up to provide a wider range of building surveying and consultancy services to KWB’s clients.

Mr Kamangira has more than 22 years’ experience in building consultancy, specialising in project management, having previously been responsible for managing large national framework contracts.

A chartered surveyor, Mr Kamangira also holds an MBA from Aston Business School. He started his building surveying career in his native Zimbabwe, moving permanently to the UK at the age of 30, where he had to re-qualify as a surveyor.

“Akim is one of the most tenacious and highly qualified building surveyors I have encountered,” said John Bryce, director of KWB Holdings.

“With the formation of our new division, we get an excellent surveyor to lead our team of building surveyors and provide an even wider range of specialist services to our clients, while he, as do all the directors of our group businesses, gets the chance to build and run a business as part of a well-known, multi-disciplinary commercial property agency.”
