He has extensive experience across a wide variety of building surveying activities, including commercial and residential surveys, schedules of dilapidations/condition surveys and defects analysis.

Robert has produced due diligence and project monitoring reports for both new build and refurbishment projects for a wide variety of funders across the region. He acts as project manager and contract administrator for infrastructure, commercial and residential new build projects working with concept design, structural engineers and mechanical and electrical partners to provide a holistic project service.
