Director - Building Surveying
Gavin McClymont
Gavin is a Chartered Building Surveyor who joined Perspective in March 2026 as a Director and is charged with heading up the Building Surveying team within our Glasgow office. Gavin has worked in commercial building surveying since 2002 where he has delivered professional services to a wide range of private and public sector clients.
Gavin has a rounded experience in building surveying, having undertaken on-site survey inspections, produced maintenance schedules and other types of professional reports, as well as prepared specifications / description of work documents for a variety of planned maintenance, refurbishment, new build, and alteration type projects.
Gavin’s main strengths lie in technical due diligence and dilapidations, having negotiated numerous complex dilapidation claims for both landlords and tenants, whilst also having been involved in various arbitration and legal proceedings. In terms of technical due diligence, he has provided advice on numerous large acquisitions of buildings ranging from Category A listed townhouses, modern hotels and entire industrial estates.
Outside of work
Outside work, Gavin enjoys golf, cooking and learning to master the art of chess which both interests and frustrates him in equal measures.
