United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Architect–Project Manager with 10 years delivering complex residential and commercial projects across India and the UK. Across 20+ projects and £1M+ budgets, I consistently cut costs while meeting compliance standards and keeping delivery on track.
Now operating as an independent consultant, I deliver project management advisory, digital templates, and online training for architecture and construction firms globally. I also advise on contract administration, procurement strategy, and sustainable design solutions, while producing technical drawings and concept visuals using AutoCAD and Revit.
I bring a complementary teaching background—designing structured learning programmes and mentoring 50+ students per cohort—to help teams build real-world PM capability. Earlier roles included leading 10-member delivery teams, driving ~15% cost savings, coordinating 10+ multidisciplinary partners with ~25% fewer delays, and achieving zero safety incidents through proactive risk assessment and H&S compliance.
