About William Lacey Group
William Lacey Group has been trading for over 100 years and was founded by William Lacey.
He was a member of the Standard Method of Measurement Joint Committee, that included several leading Quantity Surveying practices, they prepared the first Standard Method of Measurement (SMM), published in 1922. This is the Centenary Year of that document, which since its inception has provided a benchmark for Quantity Surveyors and a uniform basis for measuring building works. The introduction of the SMM facilitated
industry wide consistency which encouraged the adoption of best practice and helped to avoid disputes.
An interesting article on SMMI's origins, written by David J Hugill and Andrew D. Ross can be accessed here.
Today, the company is led by Chris Lacey, great grandson of the founder, who has continued the same ethos and commitment as his great grandfather did when he started the company.
