Commercial and delivery oversight
Bring discipline to programme, cost and risk before they turn into problems on site - and hold your team to it.
For property developers
Get the structure right early.
I set a buildable, commercially viable structural concept you can take to open market, then step back. 40 years of structural design, with the commercial eye to keep it affordable.

Why this matters on schemes
I know how consultant decisions become cost, delay and risk.
The case studies show the businesses I've built and fixed. For developers, that translates into sharper judgement on consultant advice, commercial exposure, programme risk and whether the technical team is giving you the whole picture early enough.
The need
Most developers don't need another consultant; they need someone in their corner who understands how engineering and design teams really behave, where schemes quietly leak time and money, and how to make decisions early enough to matter. I bring 40 years of structural design and 25+ years of running structural and civil businesses to exactly that.
How I help developers
How I can help.
An engineer who reads the numbers
40 years designing structures and 25+ running structural and civil consultancies. I know where technical decisions drive cost, and where the savings actually are.
A check on your consultant team
Independent judgement on whether the technical advice you're paying for is sound, well-priced and properly coordinated.
Board-level input, not a board-level salary
Non-executive experience a few days a month - the senior perspective without the full-time cost.
How working together works
Senior input, without the full-time hire.
A conversation
We start with a no-obligation chat about your business or scheme, and where a senior, independent pair of hands would help most.
A focused remit
We agree where I add the most value and how often - typically a few days a month, shaped around what you actually need.
Hands-on, not hands-off
I bring the engineering judgement of a 40-year career and the commercial discipline of 25+ years building businesses, and stay close enough to make a difference.
