Independent Civil & Environmental Engineering Advice

I provide experienced input on projects where there’s complexity or uncertainty — whether that’s a second opinion, a tricky design issue, or an independent review to confirm it is fit for purpose.

Where I Help

a design needs a second look before it goes out - or when it comes back
something isn’t working as expected and needs to be worked through
site constraints make the standard approach difficult
there are differing views on the best way forward
a council needs an independent technical view
a project needs experienced input to move it forward
decisions need to be clearly supported and justified

Why People Call Me

clear, practical advice focused on what actually works
experience where it matters — 30+ years across consulting, construction and academia
comfortable in the grey areas — where standard approaches don’t quite fit and sound engineering judgement is needed
advice that stands up — outcomes that can be explained, justified and approved
easy to work with — step in, contribute, and help move things along
