My clients value my assistance with their biggest and highest risk projects. They also trust me to support their day-to-day procurement through user friendly templates. I also help clients avoid and manage construction disputes.

I work extensively with Queensland Government agencies, along with major contractors and private developers.

I am particularly interested in energy transformation and the impact of emerging technologies on construction and transport.
