Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

With my day-to-day construction work encompassing all three of OCs transformational drivers (Decarbonisation, Digitalisation and Urban Dynamics), I am taking a lead in helping to enable clients on their journey to transform and innovate in construction.  I focus on decarbonisation in construction, with a view to reducing the significant operational and embodied carbon emissions in the built environment and including advising on and around how construction contracts can be adapted to accommodate the mitigation of climate risk.

In my role Decarbonisation Champion (Mobility & Infrastructure Sector, UK), I am also calling upon my network across law, construction and technology to help educate and find solutions to the climate challenge given the significant potential for the construction industry to help enable the net zero transition.
