Investigation & Surveying

Site Based Management
I have a wealth of contacts and knowledge for almost any trade in construction that i have experience of working with already, so when employing me for your project, especially at precon stage, i can quantify, price up and sub out any sub out packages ahead of, or durin the constructrion phase. I am well versed in site surveying, material quantifying and QS duties which means i can make a project go live on site with a strong robust delivery plan already in place. I have trusted external estimators for large projects that i work alongside and im very efficient when quoting small worked projects myself having quoted, won and delivered hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of small works projects.
I'm well versed and experienced in producing building condition reports both before and after project completion. Usually broken down into separate demises or different sub contractor packages, i can comprehensively write up reports, mark up drawings, quantify and measure materials, safely gain access to high risk areas and document any information required. This skillset can also run into producing snagging reports if you wanted to hire me to hold a contractor accountable for their sub standard work. I have a huge amount of experience in chasing retention payments and i have often briefed solicitors to draft letters and make claims on my employers behalf.
Without doubt, the lionshare of my career has been spent on site so I'm well versed and experienced in producing building condition reports both before and after project completion. Usually broken down into separate demises or different sub contractor packages, i can comprehensively write up reports, mark up drawings, quantify and measure materials, safely gain access to high risk areas and document any information required. Contractor management is my forte and is aparent in the projects that i have delivered to date. ​
I have been the No.1 on site for single projects up to £7m but my more recent experience is on a commercial and construction Director level positions having complete control over a companies construction output.
