Project management, pure and simple.
Turning complex builds into clear results.
Services
I work with universities, schools, property owners, businesses and organisations on construction projects ranging from new builds, specialist fitouts and refurbishments to seismic upgrades, supporting projects from feasibility through to occupation. Whether the challenge is technical, logistical, financial or people related, I can help.
While I’m based in Lower Hutt and work across the Wellington region, I also provide project management support in the Horowhenua and Manawatū regions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a client-side project manager do?
A client-side project manager works on behalf of the client, helping represent your interests throughout the project. That can include coordinating consultants and contractors, managing budget and programme, identifying and reducing risks and supporting decision-making.
When should I engage a project manager?
The earlier, the better — but support can be valuable at any stage. Some clients engage a project manager at the very beginning to help shape the brief, budget and programme, while others engage one when a project feels stuck, complex or in need of clearer direction and coordination.
