Message

I've led technical delivery for residential developments at Imperial Homes, Bellway Homes Wessex, Redrow Homes and Cala Homes, coordinating schemes from small bespoke sites to developments of around 400 homes. I manage multidisciplinary consultants, production information, approvals and technical issues from feasibility through handover and adoption.

My work spans private, affordable, mixed-use and social housing, with hands-on experience in Building Regulations, NHBC, CDM, planning compliance, infrastructure and statutory agreements. I bring practical construction understanding alongside commercial awareness, including helping recover a delayed 59-unit mixed-use scheme and supporting an accelerated programme.
