As a Preconstruction Manager at MPA I lead the delivery of our preconstruction service offerings in Melbourne. In doing so I ensure our projects are set up well from the beginning, in order to deliver quality, cost and program certainty for our clients. My passion and understanding of design concepts is balanced with technical experience and buildability knowledge to ensure budget and design alignment without compromising the architectural intent. Working alongside Designers, Engineers and Cost Consultants we de-risk the project and eliminate scope gap to deliver projects on time, on budget and without variations.

As a Project Manager in the Design and Construct team I oversee the entire project lifecycle and in doing so, ensure my clients receive continuity of service from project inception to completion. Working with the Designers, I manage the pre-construction process in order to identify project cost risks, ensure documentation is coordinated and early diligence completed. Using my experience as an Estimator and a trusted pool of subcontractors I then formulate the Initial Cost Plan for the project. This stage of pricing is critical to ensure that the project design and budget outcomes are aligned. Further detailed design is undertaken and the final project costing is a fixed price for the scope of work represented in the final design documentation. Once onsite I provide directionand leadership to the entire project team and am accountable for delivering the client’s project outcomes.
