Independent Construction Design & Risk Management 

​

I’m a mechanical engineer and commercial space planner with a deep-rooted passion for construction. Since 1986, I’ve been working in the industry, and in 1988, I founded my own consultancy specialising in space planning and risk management. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working across the UK and throughout Europe, including Belgium, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

Construction work can be dangerous, with accidents causing injuries, illness or even fatalities. These incidents not only impact the individuals involved but also their colleagues, families and businesses. That’s why careful planning, risk assessment and proactive safety measures are so important to protect both workers and the public.

Health & safety in construction isn’t just best practice - it’s the law. Everyone involved in a project has a role to play in ensuring a safe working environment. CDM Regulations are designed to keep safety at the heart of construction projects, placing responsibilities on those best positioned to manage risks effectively. Failure to comply with CDM Regulations is a serious matter, carrying the risk of unlimited fines and, in some cases, imprisonment.

My goal is to help businesses navigate these regulations seamlessly, ensuring compliance while fostering a culture of safety and efficiency on every project. If you'd like to discuss how I can support your project, please feel free to get in touch.
