Building Consultant Specialising in litigation support.

Home Owners warranty claims and other BUILDING DEFECT related matters for both Residential and Strata Buildings.

In the last 13 years, I have mostly been providing building consultancy assessments and expert reports for Insurance Providers of Home Warranty Insurance, government agencies, and other key stakeholders in home warranty insurance and providing reports for the CTTT now NCAT, NSW District and Supreme Courts.

I also managed the tendering process for remedial projects as part of many Home Warranty Insurance claims. This involves the analysis and assessment of tenders provided by practicing remedial building contractors. It also includes my ongoing involvement during the projects to conduct progress claim audits and evaluate variations. In most instances, this role is extended to the role of Superintendent under the contract. This exposure to current remedial practices and trends ensures my experience and knowledge, as a Building Consultant, is both relevant and up to date.

I work with a wide range of waterproofing, fire hydraulic and electrical specialists to ensure the owners and or builders get the right outcome for their claim.

Other Services Include:

• Project & Strata Management/Supervision
• Contracting Estimating
• Office Administration
• Mentoring
• Suicide Awareness
