House Building
Long-established specialism
A specialist desk, not a general one.
ACR Construction recruits the professional, technical and management staff who deliver construction projects, site managers, quantity surveyors, technical coordinators, project managers and the leadership above them.
ACR has spent years recruiting for the UK construction market, with particularly deep roots in house building and partnership housing. That experience still shapes how we work, but it no longer defines our reach: today we recruit for main contractors, subcontractors, general contracting businesses, developers and consultancies across the wider construction industry.

What clients and candidates say
I've hired through the same consultant at ACR across two different employers now. They understand the type of site manager who works for us, so we see three or four genuinely relevant people rather than twenty.
They were honest with me about what the role was and what it wasn't. Nothing went to the client until I said yes, which is not how every agency operates.
