Co-living tenure is a relatively untested form of residential development and there is limited cost data available for it. As quantity surveyor we carried out detail cost studies to find a formula that works for the client partnership. Throughout the feasibility stages, we assisted in decisions on heights by advising on cost efficiencies for various tall building options. We also produced facade option studies.
As employer’s agent, we co-ordinated with consultant Skelly & Couch on the preparation of a detailed MEP study on the project’s proposed centralised ventilation system, made necessary by air quality concerns. The system takes fresh air from the structure’s roof level and distributes it throughout the building.
The site is located next to a surface London Underground railway line, as well as an associated road bridge. We engaged specialist sub-contract input and worked closely with consultant Whitby Wood to understand, plan and cost a temporary works solution to enable unimpeded operation of the rail line. The piling design for the high rise building employs a split level solution to protect the Transport for London asset and accommodate the sloping site.

Construction is inevitably unpredictable, I closely work with everyone around me to advise clients on various obstacles and opportunities from feasibility through to completion, ensuring our clients vision are realised.
What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
I started my career as a Placement student, joining Circle during my third year at Loughborough University. Predominantly relying on academic education, I utilised the gradual exposure from being involved within post-contract residential schemes to gain a greater insight into the role itself. The main sectors I have worked on during my career is residential and commercial.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
My role consists of the entire construction process, from providing clients with costing expertise in the design stages right through to managing both the financial and contractual sides of a post-contract project. I aid within the quantification process of cost plans, allowing for key insights into the estimated price of a specific project, ensuring that the client’s budget expectations are both visualised and maximised. Whilst consistently having efficient communication with the client and contracting teams, I can support my colleagues in costing exercises and decision-making processes. Also, as construction is inevitably unpredictable, I closely work with everyone around me to advise clients on various obstacles and opportunities, allowing for a fluent process of dialogue.
Describe your experiences and growth at Circle?
I commenced my career with Circle as a Placement student from Loughborough University. I have since graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree and have committed to joining the Circle APC Chartership Program. With the consistent support from experienced colleagues, I aim to have achieved my RICS accreditation within 18 months after university. Despite only having a short career thus far, I have aided in progressing multiple projects such as Latitude Purple and Wembley Link, whilst also being heavily involved in a multitude of cost plans.
What has been your favourite project?
My favourite project was Wembley Link, which perfectly balanced a challenging yet insightful workload, enabling me to kick start my career whilst dramatically proving that learning construction in a lecture hall is nothing compared to being on-site in person. The 256-unit scheme located in Wembley Central placed me in the deep end of a construction project, exponentially accelerating my learning curve.
What brings you joy outside of work?
Despite being the completely wrong height for any sport, being the 3rd smallest person in the office, I love to take part in most types of sports including football and running. I also have a passion in attending sports events, in hopes of witnessing Tottenham Hotspur win a trophy before I retire in 40 years’ time. Having recently moved to London, I have taken the opportunity to learning new cooking recipes by eating at various restaurants around the city and attempting to copy them. This plays perfectly in my current favourite hobby, spending time on the weekends visiting new pubs with friends and colleagues

I started my career based on site to operational side, initially providing general labour, progressing through the various site levels eventually achieving the position of Site Manager on large new build residential projects across London. During my time as a Site Manager, I have delivered large scale residential projects for Tier 1 contractors across London being involved in majority of the construction stages and overlooking all trades from groundworks through to the finishing touches.
My role includes is to work across multiple projects raising quality standards and the expectations of contractors and sub-contractors of what is and isn’t acceptable. Also, demonstrating and making sure the works are in line with both design and specifications, and British Standards.
I started as a Clerk of Works in 2020 and I progressed in this time by developing new competences being registered with the most prestigious institution within the quality control sector and the reputation spans far and wide, The Institute of Clerk of Works and Construction Inspectorate of Great Britain (ICWCI), enrolled onto the Clerk of Works course with Wolverhampton University.
My favourite project is One Maidenhead, a build to rent development in Maidenhead consisting of 429 apartments, ground floor shops and restaurants over four buildings. Having been involved from the very start, overseeing quality and compliance through the project on daily and weekly site visits to undertake inspections and rise observations concerning Health, Safety & Welfare, Temporary Works, Quality, Environmental or Design and reporting to the Employer’s Agent. Also, being involved in façade inspections from the first fix up to final inspection prior mast climber dismantle.
As an active social individual, I enjoy going to gym, running and play football on weekly basis because these sports keep me in shape, challenge my physical limits and strengthen my team work skills as I use to do in early days when I played rugby for my local team. Also, in my spare time I enjoy to socialising and cooking delicious dishes for family and friends. Another passion which relaxes me is photography and videography, sometimes creating memorable pictures and videos for those around me.

I am a CIOB-accredited project manager with a delivery background, with experience across multiple sectors. I have worked for Tier 1 Contractors and in recent years, Project management, working closely with Clients to achieve their project aspirations.
I have over 10 years of experience working in the construction industry across multiple sectors. At Circle Development I specialise in residential and commercial projects, delivering high-quality residential buildings and prime commercial spaces across London and in the regions.
My responsibility pre-contract is to drive the programme, lead the design team and understand, manage and minimise project risks and opportunities for Clients. I prioritise client satisfaction by fostering clear communication, managing expectations, and delivering projects that align with the client’s vision and goals. Client feedback and repeat business are testaments to my client-centric approach.
I have experience in developing project execution plans and monitoring the construction phase plans as the works progress. I establish the project programme and drive the wider team to hit the key project milestones, such as the preparation and submission of planning documentation. Post-contract award, I have a depth of experience administering the contract to make sure the ERs are delivered on time and within budget and to the correct quality.
I started professional life in the Construction industry working onsite as a trainee engineer, working my way up to a senior construction manager before switching to the client side with Circle in 2020.
This change of direction presented an opportunity to broaden my knowledge of the construction industry. I joined Circle as an Assistant Project Manager in 2020 and have progressed to a Senior Project Manager, during my time with Circle I have Project Managed projects such as Abbey Place, Talgarth Road PBSA and Canons House and have taken a lead role in the development of the Clerk of Works business.
Over the past four years, I have led numerous construction projects, ranging from residential developments to commercial renovations, with budgets exceeding £50 million. In this role, my responsibilities include overseeing project teams, setting objectives, and ensuring successful project delivery. I have worked on projects during each phase of the Construction lifecycle.
I consistently strive to deliver the best results for my Client, meeting or surpassing quality standards. Notably, two of my previous projects Abbey Place and Vincent Square Sports Pitches were completed ahead of the programme and within budget for the Client. These achievements demonstrate my ability to handle complex projects with efficiency and precision. I enjoyed my time working at Abbey Place fostering strong working relationships with the various members of the Client and Contracting teams to deliver some much-needed high-quality housing in a developing area which has recently been connected by the Elizabeth line.
I have an interest in cycling, running and football, playing for my team in London at weekends. I also played a key role in the Circle 5 a-side team which achieved back-to-back relegations in the local league. Recently I have taken on the new challenge of learning to ski, honing my skills regularly in Milton Keynes over the past few years.

I began my career as an estimator for a regional main contractor in Derbyshire while pursuing my Master’s in Quantity Surveying. Upon completing my course, I relocated to London and joined a Tier 1 Main contractor, focusing on residential, commercial, and healthcare sectors. My background allows me to provide pre and post-contract commercial services to clients, with on-the-ground knowledge from my contracting days. With Circle, I’ve now work on new build residential, co-living, and office projects in the capacity of an Associate Quantity Surveyor and Employer’s Agent.
As an Associate Quantity Surveyor, I combine strong technical and interpersonal skills to deliver commercial services to my clients. My role is diverse, encompassing both pre- and post-contract duties. I lead teams of Project Quantity Surveyors and Assistant Surveyors to deliver large-scale projects for our clients.
Pre-contract, we prepare cost estimates, monitor design development, manage procurement, and negotiate build contracts. Cost estimates are produced from feasibility stage through to RIBA Stage 4 design. Post-contract, we manage our clients’ commercial interests and administer contracts on live projects, acting as the Employer’s Agent. This includes monitoring variations, negotiating costs, tracking on-site progress, and carrying out monthly valuations.
I also act as a line manager to four members of the commercial team, overseeing workloads and monitoring performance against agreed targets. This includes tracking and reviewing their progress through the APC pathway to chartership.
I joined Circle in September 2023 as a Quantity Surveyor. From day one, the company entrusted me with significant responsibility, beginning with a negotiated tender for a c.£50m co-living scheme in White City within my first week. Since then, my career has gone from strength to strength, achieving chartership and progressing from Senior Quantity Surveyor to my current role as an Associate.
Having established strong teams across large-scale residential and commercial projects, I now lead a new Single Family Homes department, where we act as Fund Monitor on several schemes. Circle has been an excellent business to work for, providing consistent support for my professional development, creating opportunities to take on new challenges, and offering guidance through major milestones such as the RICS APC process.
My favourite project is Wood Lane, which was my first scheme with Circle. The £49m development involves the construction of a 16-storey tower with two six-storey wings. The tower will accommodate 209 co-living units, with the ground floor, Level 7, and Level 16 providing communal amenity spaces for residents, including MasterChef-style kitchens, a gym, workspaces, and lounges.
The six-storey wings are being delivered for a women’s charity and will include 60 apartments for the charity’s patrons, along with a new office for the organisation. The project includes technically complex groundworks due to existing site levels, as well as the added challenges of working adjacent to the London Underground Central Line and a busy TfL highway. It is exciting to see the project coming to fruition, with Practical Completion anticipated in Q4 2026.
Outside of work, I stay active by going to the gym a few times a week and occasionally returning to Derbyshire for long walks in the Peak District. I make the most of my annual leave by travelling, most recently visiting old university friends in Jordan and experiencing one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In winter, I am an avid skier, having completed a season when I was younger. I am also settling into more leisurely and less extreme sports, enjoying the occasional round of golf when time allows, but only when the sun is shining.
