✔ Management Management
“Building Your Vision, On Time and On Budget”.
I’m a dedicated Construction Project Manager with over 17 years of experience transforming complex blueprints into finished, functional realities. My philosophy is simple: a successful project isn’t just about steel and concrete; it’s about delivering on your vision, safeguarding your investment, and making the process as seamless and predictable as possible.
I serve as your single point of contact and relentless problem-solver, navigating the complexities of construction so you don’t have to.
03
✔ Construction & Design Management
I am an experienced Architectural Technician with over 30 years of expertise in translating conceptual designs into precise, practical, and compliant construction packages.

Transparent Pricing
I believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The cost of your EPC assessment depends on the size and type of your property, ensuring you only pay for what you need.
Our Standard Pricing:
£60 – £85: For most standard homes (e.g., 1- 4 bedroom houses, flats, and bungalows).
£90 – £120: For larger or more complex properties (e.g., 5+ bedroom houses, large conversions, or unique building layouts).
Why the range? The final price within these brackets is confirmed after a brief discussion about your specific property (e.g., number of bedrooms, layout, and construction type) to ensure an accurate quote. Contact me for a firm, no-obligation price tailored to your home.
As a fully accredited and experienced Energy Assessor, I provide clear, reliable, and affordable Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for homeowners and landlords. An EPC is not just a legal requirement for selling or renting a property—it’s your first step towards understanding your energy use, reducing your bills, and enhancing your property’s market appeal.
My service is designed to be straightforward and convenient. I conduct the assessment at a time that works for you, with a quick, non-invasive visit, and your certificate is promptly issued thereafter.
Retrofit Coordination
Your Partner in Whole-Home Energy Transformation
As a qualified Retrofit Coordinator, I provide end-to-end project management for domestic energy efficiency upgrades that are safer, more effective, and built to last. Moving beyond a simple EPC, my role is to guide your project from initial assessment to final certification, ensuring it meets the rigorous standards of PAS 2035.
A coordinated retrofit is not just about installing individual measures; it’s about a holistic, ‘whole-house’ approach that considers the interplay between all elements of your property. This ensures optimal performance, prevents unintended consequences like damp and mould, and protects your investment for the long term.
The PAS 2035 Retrofit Process: A Managed Journey
The UK’s leading framework for quality energy efficiency retrofits, PAS 2035, ensures a robust, data-driven process. As your Retrofit Coordinator, I will guide you through every stage.
1. The Initial Assessment & Medium-Term Improvement Plan:
This is the critical first step. I will oversee a comprehensive assessment of your property, which includes:
-
A detailed Dwelling Assessment: Evaluating construction, condition, and thermal characteristics.
-
Occupancy Assessment: Understanding your household’s needs and usage patterns.
-
Risk Assessment: Identifying potential retrofit risks (e.g., condensation, overheating).
The outcome is a personalised Medium-Term Improvement Plan (MIP), a strategic roadmap that prioritises measures for your home in the correct sequence.
2. The ‘Fabric First’ Design Philosophy
My approach is rooted in the ‘Fabric First’ principle. This means prioritising improvements to the building’s envelope itself—its walls, floors, roof, and windows—to reduce energy demand at source before considering new heating systems. This creates a more resilient, comfortable, and cost-effective home.
3. Specification & Installation
I will work with you and your chosen contractors to ensure the design and installation specifications are fully compliant with PAS 2035 and the TrustMark quality framework. This safeguards the quality of the work and ensures all measures work together synergistically.
4. Handover & Post-Project Evaluation
My role continues after installation. I manage the handover process, ensuring you have all the necessary documentation and understand how to use your newly upgraded home. A Post-Installation Evaluationis conducted to verify the project’s performance against the original objectives.

CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN MANAGEMENT
My Core Expertise: The Technical Foundation of Your Project
My skill set is centered on creating the definitive instructions that builders follow, ensuring the final build reflects the design intent flawlessly.
Technical Design & Detailing: I develop the comprehensive construction details that bring a building to life—from weather-proof wall assemblies and foundation connections to intricate interior elements. I ensure every junction is buildable, durable, and high-performing.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) Management: I don’t just create drawings; I build intelligent 3D digital models. This process allows for clash detection, material quantification, and improved collaboration among all engineering disciplines, saving time and reducing errors.
Building Regulations & Compliance: I navigate the complex web of UK Building Regulations with confidence. I ensure that every aspect of the technical design—from fire safety and accessibility to energy efficiency and structural requirements—is fully compliant, smoothing the path for approvals.
Construction Documentation (Tender & Construction Packages): I produce the precise and coherent set of documents that contractors bid on and build from. This includes detailed plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and specifications, leaving no room for ambiguity.
Site Liaison & Problem-Solving: My role often extends to the construction site, where I review work for compliance with the drawings and provide swift, practical solutions to unforeseen challenges that arise during the build.
