With more than 40 years' experience in the building industry, I have consulted on various projects including new builds, refurbished buildings and extensions. I have worked across a variety of sectors including education, sports and entertainment, retail, hotels and resorts, commercial, industrial, residential, and heritage works. For the last 20 years, I have provided expert witness evidence in relation to over a hundred building disputes. I have appeared as an expert witness in Department of Fair Trading Tribunal matters, Local, District and Supreme Courts and Mediations and Arbitrations.
