About Us
Hi, I’m Ashley Jones, Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS), and I’m the owner of Downlands Architectural Design and Downlands Surveying.
My background
Before I was qualified, I worked for a large firm of Chartered Surveyors in London. My projects were largely historic buildings such as Fishmongers’ Hall and the Livery Company’s other properties. I progressed further to work on the Royal Pavilion and Brighton Museum and other historic buildings within the Brighton & Hove City Estate.
I graduated, with a degree in Building Surveying, from Liverpool John Moores University in 1993. I later qualified as a member of the RICS in 1998.
