“ The corporate janitor — called in to clear what others have left undone.
My clients sometimes call me the corporate janitor: the engineer brought in when projects stall, contracts strain, or technical questions outpace internal capacity. I work directly with senior management to resolve issues fast, effectively, and on sound principles — technical, contractual, and commercial.
The work is typically discreet, time-critical, and accountable to the principals who own the decision. Output is measured in problems closed, not papers issued.
Capital-project experience earned across more than eighty-six countries. An internationally seasoned practitioner — quick to read local codes, contracting cultures, and operating realities, and at home wherever the work is.
Ten software tools built in practice — for owners and project sponsors running capital projects, for finance professionals appraising project finance transactions, and for students and practitioners of contract and commercial law. Brochures available for download; software requested by email.

Management of scaffold contracts on site. Each order is tracked through five phases — Delivery, Erection, In Use, Dismantling and Return — on a live colour-coded Gantt timeline. Automatic hire-cost engine (quantity in m³ or tonnes × daily rate × in-use days), multiple currencies, paid-by tracking and cascade scheduling. Generates Gantt, Order Sheets, Scaffold Register and Cost Summary PDFs. Windows desktop.
Single-file desktop tool producing an 8-page project finance appraisal PDF.
