Meet Matt Cooper, Senior Quantity Surveyor at DrawDown.
Matt began his career 12 years ago preparing Reinstatement Cost Assessments as a surveyor, and has since built a well-rounded career as a Quantity Surveyor across both consultancy and contractor sides of the industry, working in both England and Australia.
As Senior QS at DrawDown, Matt looks after the financial side of construction projects, managing a diverse portfolio of developments valued between $5 million and $40 million, spanning across the residential, industrial, and commercial landscapes. He brings a keen eye for detail, an organised and polished approach to his work, and a talent for communicating the story behind the numbers to his clients and colleagues.
What drives Matt is the sense of adding real value, helping keep a project's financial system running smoothly. He's particularly passionate about seeing numbers translate into something physical and tangible. One of his proudest achievements has been establishing his career in Australia after relocating from England.
Outside the office, Matt trades spreadsheets for two wheels, swapping desk time for mountain adventures.
