My Consultant Story

  • I began on-site, working as an apprentice bricklayer straight out of school. Over two decades, I gained hands-on experience across all aspects of construction - structural work, project management, and contract negotiations. Eventually, I became a site manager, overseeing multi-million-pound developments
  • One project, however, changed everything. A high-profile commercial build faced serious structural issues, and I was called to investigate. My detailed report pinpointed the defects - improper material use and a failure to follow industry standards. The findings led to a legal dispute, and the solicitors handling the case asked me to testify.
  • Recognising my depth of knowledge and ability to explain complex issues clearly, I was encouraged to train as a construction expert witness. I completed specialist qualifications in forensic construction analysis and dispute resolution.
  • Now, with years of courtroom experience, I help resolve disputes by providing clear, unbiased analysis. Whether assessing delays, contract breaches, or defects, I ensure legal teams and judges understand the technical details. My journey from tradesman to trusted expert proves that real-world experience is invaluable in construction disputes.
