I work within our Building Consultancy team, based in the Birmingham office. I specialise in a variety of commercial and industrial surveying services incorporating technical due diligence, contract administration, party wall and landlord and tenant advice.
I’m a Building Consultancy specialist with 12 years’ industry experience. My experience spans across a multitude of sectors ranging between the project and professional service spectrum of Building Surveying acting on behalf of investors, property companies, private individuals, landlords and tenants.
I work for a broad range of our client base throughout the UK, including local authorities, housing associations and private sector developers and occupiers including Whitbread, Travis Perkins, Ericsson UK, Carlsberg, Ocado, Peugeot Citroen and Swissport.
