Based in Dubai

Service: Quantum

As a qualified Quantity Surveyor, who completed my QS degree part time whilst working for a major contractor in the UK, I have managed and led commercial teams from project inception, towards the successful completion of major projects.

Having worked on major projects for both the contractor and the developer, I am able to demonstrate the ability to enhance value for money for the client, whilst also controlling costs of a project and delivering the successful results required during the construction phase for the main contractor.

For the past 6 years, I have been focussed on full claim preparation, including all quantum elements for drafting prolongation claims, delay events, acceleration claims and variation claims for major contractors in a wide variety of sectors of the construction industry.

I have also assisted quantum experts in arbitration proceedings and have been cross-examined by an arbitration tribunal panel in DIAC with regards to the quantum documentation I prepared on behalf of the quantum expert.

In this time, I have also completed my LLM in Construction Law & Practice with my dissertation focussed on the feasibility of the implementation of Statutory Adjudication in the UAE.
