Project controls, end to end.

A programme is only as good as the thinking behind it. Chris builds construction and delivery schedules in Primavera P6 from first principles — realistic durations, defensible logic, and a critical path you can actually manage to.

Whether it's a tender submission on a tight clock or a baseline for a multi-year build, the output is a plan the whole team believes in and can be held to.

Once work is underway, the question is simple: is the forecast still true? Chris provides independent programme quality assurance and reporting that catches slippage while there's still room to respond.

Acting client-side, he keeps contractor programmes honest and turns raw progress data into a clear monthly read for decision-makers.

Contingency isn't a round number — it's the answer to a question you have to analyse. Working to ISO 31000, Chris combines quantitative and qualitative techniques to size the schedule and cost contingency that actually protects your margin.

Just as importantly, he coaches teams through the cognitive biases that quietly wreck estimates, lifting the whole organisation's risk maturity.

The programme is often where a tender is won or lost. Chris evaluates contractors' bid programmes with a hard focus on expedience and deliverability, giving procurement teams a clear, defensible basis for award.

He has assessed 16 major tenders and recommended award on roughly $1 billion of construction — experience that makes the difference between a schedule that reads well and one that will hold.

When delay events and EOT claims arrive, they need forensic scrutiny, not a rubber stamp. Chris evaluates entitlement against the programme, coordinates with cost teams on compensable costs, and helps you hold a fair, defensible line.

He also advises on the contract mechanisms that make future EOTs cleaner to administer — reducing disputes before they start.

Hyperscale and data centre delivery has its own tempo and its own risks. Chris has planned base-build and fitout programmes for some of the largest names in the sector, both as a client representative and on the contractor's side of a tender.

From Melbourne builds totalling ~143MW to fast-turnaround fitout bids, he brings pattern recognition you only get from doing it repeatedly.
