About

I am currently working as an quantity surveyor at Pyments, a specialist cost and project management consultancy. My previous experience has provided me with a unique understanding of both the contracting and consultancy professions, where I have been able to obtain and implement a multi-disciplinary knowledge of both Quantity Surveying and Project Management. My experience has enabled me to work with different project teams to ensure a high degree of organisation and co-ordination amongst the projects & its stakeholders. I’ve been able to assist on a range of commercial, residential and education schemes at different spectrums of the construction lifecycle, providing me with a holistic outlook of the different commercial and management process’s involved within a construction project.
