In this week’s episode of The Girls and Property Podcast, we’re diving into something totally new—surveying! And I’ve got just the woman to guide us through it.

I’m joined by the brilliant Sophie Perkins, a seasoned surveyor who’s making serious waves for women in construction. Sophie brings a straight-talking, fresh perspective on what it’s really like to work in an industry that’s still very much male-dominated—and trust me, some of the stories she shares will stop you in your tracks. It’s clear the sector’s due a serious shake-up.

We cover the different types of surveying (yes, there’s more than one!) and why it’s so important for us as investors to understand the difference. We also get into the barriers women still face, and how to build real, lasting credibility in a space that wasn’t exactly designed with us in mind. Sophie opens up about her journey, the challenges she's tackled, and what keeps her fired up every single day.

One of my favourite parts? Hearing all about Sophie’s brand-new footwear collection, Sophie’s Choice—proper PPE designed specifically for women in construction. Finally, work boots that fit properly, look the part and do the job. Built by a woman who genuinely understands what women on-site need.

It’s a great conversation, full of insight, honesty, and inspiration.
