Summary
With my background I bring to the team over 15 years hands-on carpentry, building and construction experience.
New builds, extensions, and specialized commercial construction ranging from schools, hospitals and shopping centres.
Pride myself on professional coordination moving into site management where I've excelled at delivering projects on time and on budgets and exceeded clients expectations.
Eye for detail with creative visualization and as a leader being able to successfully manage the scheduling and resources of my projects.
