Roger is an experienced Chartered Surveyor and Chartered Builder with adjudication, mediation, arbitration, and litigation experience spanning a wide range of domestic and international projects, including building projects, civil engineering, oil & gas, and process engineering.

Over the last 15+ years, Roger has regularly been instructed as an expert witness on quantum issues (valuation of disputed variations, prolongation, loss and expense claims, disruption, loss of profit, and damages claims) on projects ranging from relatively low value to over US$1B.

Prior to becoming a consultant, Roger was a director of a regional building contractor. Over 19 years he worked on projects in differing sectors, and had an active involvement in all aspects of the business, including commercial management, contract reviews, information/co-ordination requirements, estimating, budgeting, tender analysis, procurement, contracts management, programming & planning, progress reporting, quality control, health safety, cost management, cash flow, profit & loss monitoring, negotiations of final accounts and associated contractual matters, risk management, delay notifications and claim preparation and dispute resolution.

An experienced lead quantum expert, Roger is able to offer robust, realistic advice built on his sector experience, and manage teams in the evaluation or preparation of construction and engineering claims across the full range of dispute resolution processes.
