I believe in building our environments responsibly.

I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building, an Associate of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and an Associate of the Association of Project Safety, with over three and a half decades of experience in designing and managing construction projects on the Isle of Man.

I offer all forms of building consultancy, with a specialism in the design, specification and project management of ultra high performance, eco-conscious developments for both domestic and commercial purposes. I have proven, award-winning experience in:

  • Passive (PassivHaus) performance dwellings

  • Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) systems

  • Effective insulation solutions

  • Achieving building air-tightness as low as 0.5 m3/(m2.h)@50PA

  • Ground source heat pumps

  • Air source heat pumps

  • Thermal stores

  • Solar thermal panels

  • Solar photo-voltaic panels

  • Wind turbines

  • Preparation of drawings for planning and building control

I particularly enjoy finding cost effective and pragmatic solutions to building performance, trying to find the point of diminishing returns, or working within a budget.
