How do you help clients?
I work with clients to understand the key outcomes of any project, the risk to the delivery of these outcomes and develop a clear strategy for a project’s success. I create a collaborative environment between client, consultant and contractor, where all parties are aligned to a project’s objectives. I offer my clients a board range of technical knowledge of the built environment, offering the right solution, be it a construction defect, budget estimate or risk management strategy.
