Summary

I have extensive experience within the construction industry from supervison of major projects to the coordination of all constituents of a well running site. I initially started my career as an apprentice carpenter and joiner and continued my professional development to become a qualified builder. Over my 30 years of working within the construction industry, I have managed a large number of projects from estimating and programming, contract negotiations and execution, pre-construction and approvals, including managing multiple trades across multiple projects. My experience and architectural knowledge enable me to have a proactive approach to project delivery and managemen.
