About Us

Black Cat is an independent building consultancy, founded in 2015 by three surveyors who wanted to create a business that does things differently. Since starting out in Manchester, we’ve grown into a UK and Ireland-wide practice, offering expertise in surveying, consultancy, project management, asset management, and a dedicated rating team.

We’re more than a consultancy, we’re a close-knit team built on trust, independence, precision, collaboration, and smart disruption. We believe in flexibility and freedom in the way we work, balanced with professionalism and dedication when it matters most. At Black Cat, your contribution matters, your development is supported, and your success is celebrated.
