The Journey So Far
I started as a carpenter, where I learned the value of preparation and teamwork.
I became a Site Manager, then Project Manager, and today I’m Development Manager at Cullen Homes, building contemporary luxury homes in Canford Cliffs.
I’ve lived both sides of this industry:
• Sites where managers are firefighting, trades are tripping over each other, and clients are frustrated.
• And sites where progress is steady, contractors are motivated, and clients feel confident.
The difference isn’t the people on site. It’s how thorough the preconstruction was.
Unwavering Standards
Precision
I front-load everything into preconstruction. My frameworks capture every step so nothing is missed, assumed, or left half-done.
Clarity
I make projects transparent. Everyone works from one live system, so decisions are clear and expectations aligned.
Alignment
I push decisions, tendering, and compliance into preconstruction, keeping execution short, smooth, and predictable.
My Work
My focus is making preconstruction thorough, disciplined, and alive. Here’s how I’m sharing that work:
• The Essay – Preconstruction Isn’t a Phase. It’s the Project. My manifesto on why projects fail before they begin. Read Now
• PreConstructive – A management system I built to connect programme, procurement, and cashflow in one place. Explore
