James Palmer | LinkedIn

I am a property and land development surveyor, based in Edinburgh and with over fifteen years of experience throughout the UK and internationally.
In previous professional positions, I have mastered the necessary skills and experience to drive forward the development of large and complex development projects. I understand and have thorough practical experience in all aspects of strategic development and project management, from conception to operation. I have held roles on project boards, worked in partnership with local authorities, in private sector partnerships and as an exclusive developer.
I have recent experience in high, medium and low density private and affordable residential, build-to-rent, office, retail, leisure, hospitality and industrial sectors, plus major civil engineering, utilities and renewable energy projects.

​I hold two MSc degrees in Construction Project Management and Urban Real Estate Development and Management, from an undergraduate base in Architectural Design and Fine Art. I am highly and broadly networked with contacts across the UK property industry and am respected for holding a genuine passion for creating exceptional built environments.

I enjoy and am proud to be part of this constantly challenging industry, particularly where my passion for sustainable and environmentally responsible development is rapidly becoming a main priority.
