In my primary role, I focus on cost assessment, building measurement, budget creation and cost management for large-scale commercial works, as well as overseeing the negotiation and management of the tender process for a range of clients from a variety of sectors including Global Media, Technology, Pharma and Finance.

My background is in Quantity Surveying, having studied Construction Economics and Management (Quantity Surveying) in the Dublin Institute of Technology, Bolton Street and have successfully obtained my MRICS accreditation. In my prior role I was also a fully qualified Insurance Loss Adjuster with experience in both domestic and commercial property loss claims. My prior position in with Thornton & Partners Loss Adjusters (APA and CIP qualified) saw me focus on claim validation and cost control. Working with a number of multi-national Insurers, as well as general contractors, architects, engineers, etc., I used my construction and insurance expertise to provide an efficient claims handling process for customers. During my time there, I conceived a new claim settlement application and assisted in its design and implementation which simplified both the handling and costing of claims, and also automated much of the claim validation process.Specialties: Quantity Surveying, Cost Estimating, Value Engineering, Project Management, Cost and Value Management, Claim Validation, Loss Adjustment.
