Under different types of contracts or procurement strategies including EPCC, framework agreements, traditional JCT, and the new engineering contract (NEC3), construction management, management contracting and design & build. I have the ability to pay attention to detail while remaining focused globally. My analytical planning skills are second to none, together with earned value analysis, and general financial management skills of monitoring the budget. I like to set up the programme in order to protect my client’s financial position therefore, making it easy to carry out delays analyst and forensic planning exercises including “As Built” Collapse “As built”, “Window” Analysis and Time Impact Programmes. I aspire to move into BIM analysis and forensic planning, and to carry out claims as an expert witness.
