Ali Gorjestani

I have extensive planning and programming expertise, which includes a number of high profile blue chip clients with complex organisational structures and user interfaces. I have held leading roles and working experiences in main contracting, construction management and consultancy. Experienced in construction, fit out, refurbishment and infrastructure schemes. Pre & Post construction expert.  I have lead and delivered many major commissions providing direct client consultancy planning and programme management services from inception, through feasibility and design, to construction and delivery of the built asset to the client.  I have extensive commercial awareness and effective communication skills to promote business internally and externally and to deal with client expectations, project team members and add exceptional values to project undertakings.  I am very passionate in enhanced service delivery in order to add value, desired solutions to meet client expectations. Therefore, over spread of my career I have developed and utilised alternative solutions for planning & programme management services. This has been very fruitful and continues client repeat business. For example, the work I undertook for a major developer was reported the most robust programme amongst all submissions. A winning bid turned to be a successful 7 year commission.  I am an excellent leader with experience with proven strengths in leading teams adopting an innovative approach to delivery and problem solving. I actively provide programming knowledge to my clients in their business success and project team members. I have an excellent track record in development of planners and planning resource management.  In the same time I am very enthusiastic in knowledge share and have been in centre of such developments. I have created programme & site logistics databases for construction, refurbishment and fit out projects.
