Reiss’s Story

Reiss’s journey to be Young Builder of the Year is a tale of triumph over adversity. The loss of both of his parents hasn’t prevented him shining as one his company’s rising stars.

Despite the challenges thrown at Reiss he has made incredible progress since starting with Barratt Developments in 2019, beginning as Commercial Apprentice. Through hard work and dedication, combining work with study at Solihull College and University Centre, Reiss achieved a Level 4 qualification in Construction Surveying.

He hasn’t missed a day at work and his hard word work was recognised by promotion to Trainee Quantity Surveyor, Assistant QS and then to Quantity Surveyor.

Reis has his eyes set next on being a Senior Quantity Surveyor and with further experience to then progress to more senior roles such as Commercial Manager and Group Surveying Manager.
