Practice Profile

 

Established in 1952 we have been providing professional services to clients for over 60 years, gaining great experience, knowledge, professionalism and an excellent reputation in the process. Our success as a leading property and construction consulting organisation is derived from consistently providing superior value to our clients and allowing them to achieve their building and accommodation objectives.

In April 2006 John Watson and Carter became part of V B Johnson LLP and continue to trade under their own name from their office in Kingston upon Hull. John Watson and Carter are a well respected firm of Chartered Surveyors with a long history of providing professional services having been established in 1887. The amalgamation strengthened our Quantity Surveying, Project Management and CDM Co-ordinator services and added the additional services of Building Surveying and Property Tax Consultancy.

In January 2009 V B Johnson LLP acquired DWA Partnership, a Watford-based professional practice established in 1984 providing financial, contractual and management services to the Construction Industry. The acquisition has increased our client base and provided additional expertise and depth to the services we provide.

We are located in three offices, one in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, one in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire and one in Watford, Hertfordshire from where we provide both national and international coverage.
