With over 38 years in the construction industry, I know how important it can be to find the right independent professional advice when you need it most.

During my career, I have provided troubleshooting services to both the civil engineering and building sectors. I specialise in solving problems with concrete materials technology, applied to both new build construction and the management of existing assets that are deteriorating prematurely or unexpectedly.

With experience in all common construction materials, including masonry, asphalt, concrete and steel, I can offer you the latest advice in forensic engineering and deterioration management for your assets, including maintenance and remediation strategies.
