Q&A with Dave
Dave Bredin
Year you joined Survey Solutions:
2001
The best thing about Surveying is…
I always enjoyed the variety it brings, different site/buildings at every project. Also the satisfaction of drawing completion, all surveyors take pride in their finished project, something I try to pass onto the Trainees we have in the business.
My favourite ever survey and why…
No real favourite but my first complete building survey, Felixstowe Cinema, is one I will remember, as well as Cranfields Mill on the Ipswich Waterfront as I had to calculate the building height of the tower before reflectorless instruments were invented. And lastly a very very nice private house in Chelsea with a car lift into the basement was very enjoyable.
Describe Survey Solutions in three words…
Professional, adaptable and approachable.
An interesting fact about me is…
I not only hold a 2nd in Ju Jitsu but also a 3rd Dan in Judo along with being an international Judo Referee.
Outside of work I enjoy…
Family is the most important thing to me but I also play and coach Rugby Union, being a Level 2 RFU Coach and Referee.
