Wouter De Jager arrived in the UK from South Africa at the age of 18 to work as a carpenter. He was successful, and he quickly progressed to more senior roles across the Construction Industry. 

• Site manager 

• Contract Manager 

• Building Surveyor 

• Manager/Owner of Commercial Interiors firm 

Whilst doing the above, he moved to Maidenhead with his wife to start a family and somehow found time to study and gain a Building Surveying Honours Degree at The University of Reading. 

Wouter currently manages Maidenhead Planning as a Building Surveyor, Architectural Designer and Party Wall Surveyor, in addition to undertaking property development and project management roles. 

Importantly, he has worked on all three sides of the project: 

• As a Contractor
• As a Designer 
• Representing the Client 

He believes this gives him the required set of specialist skills to bring to your project. He can design something that is realistic and buildable (Contractor experience), aesthetically pleasing and functional (Design experience), that adds value while meeting the budget (Client's representative).
