FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
Karl Curnock MRICS
Karl founded AltMarkt after almost two decades advising schools, academy trusts, healthcare organisations and public sector organisations on Estate Strategy & Planning, Building Surveying, Project Delivery & Management and Contract Administration. As a Chartered Member (MRICS) of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, he combines technical expertise with practical, independent advice that helps clients make confident property decisions.
His work has supported schools, academy trusts, healthcare organisations, public sector bodies and commercial clients with estate condition assessment, capital investment planning, refurbishment programmes, funding support and project delivery.
Before establishing AltMarkt, Karl held senior surveying positions with respected practices across the East of England. That background gives him the technical understanding needed to assess existing buildings, identify estate risk and help clients make informed property decisions.
As Director of AltMarkt, Karl works closely with clients to understand the challenges facing their estates and develop realistic, deliverable recommendations. His focus is on independent advice, clear evidence and practical support that helps organisations move from uncertainty to action.
Karl’s professional membership can be independently verified through the RICS Member Directory, giving clients confidence they are working with a recognised professional committed to the standards expected of the profession.
