I have extensive experience gained both on site and in design work.
7 years experience in construction prior to 24 years design office
experience has provided me with a practical approach which is applied
to the designs and reports produced.
My construction experience has ranged from major civil engineering contracts to domestic constructions.
My subsequent design experience has complimented my extensive site experience.
I have had 21 years design office experience with 7 years of that period working in an established Consultants Offices in Bedford and for 9 years running a regional office for a national Civil and Structural Engineering Parctice in Suffolk. I have managed property developments for a National PLC Company. For the last 7 years I have established my own practice based in Suffolk in which I am a Director.
My workload encompasses a wide range of projects, ranging from barn conversions, of which there have been 29 in the last 12 months, to general preparation of reports/surveys on domestic structures reporting on timber roof, conditions of walls with recommendation and repairs and also commercial construction from flats, offices, etc. The general workload of the practice ranges from domestic reports/surveys through to commercial developments in the region of £1.6million - £2.0million. I am conversant with all current structural materials.
I have been on the committee of the Local branch of the Institution of Structural Engineers and support continuing professional development (CPD) and take great interest in developments and new techniques to broaden and enhance my experience and expertise.
I am also a director of S A (Midlands) Ltd our sister office in Burton-upon-Trent which provides valuable back up for a varied workload and interaction to cover projects which fall within the area served by both offices.
