The experience behind OES
Estimating grounded in how work is actually delivered.
I have more than 25 years’ construction experience across estimating, contracting, business ownership, planned maintenance, refurbishment and public-sector work. That practical background helps me spot scope gaps, test assumptions and prepare figures that make sense on site as well as on paper.
