I'm a Chartered Building Surveyor with over 20 years of experience in property and construction sectors. I specialise in construction technology and building pathology in the Australian commercial real estate sector.I'm a first-time author of upcoming narrative non-fiction book, "The Building Detective: Uncover building mysteries and solve them like a sleuth". The Building Detective is to a building consultant, what Freakonomics is to an economist: a non-fiction book which melds pop culture with its respective profession, drawing in the interest of a general readership. It introduces the concept of ODEC: observation, deduction, elimination and conclusion; a repeating pattern for readers to follow along with throughout the book's building failure stories.

My goal is to support RICS to promote trust in the profession, for the public interest, and to encourage members to engage with each other through community and lifelong learning.
