I have been based inHong Kong(9 years) and Singapore(11 years) but also working on assignments across Asia in a range of countries including Hong Kong, PR China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Thailand, UAE Dubai and also servicing clients in other countries.
Experience covers a wide range of complex construction projects in building, civil engineering, marine, oil storage and M & E/MEP involvement. Many of these were joint ventures and large infrastructure projects of a fast track nature involving roads, bridges, airports, LRT, MRT, railway systems and reclamation. Building experience includes residential accommodation, university facilities, high end office developments, hospitals, hotels, stadiums, exhibition centres, laboratory complexes, industrial warehouses, rail stations, fuel installations, refurbishment and minor works.
In particular I was involved with MEP claims and contractual issues for clients on the Changi Airport Terminal 3 Project. More recently I am becoming involved in Changi T5 Works.

I am currently engagedas quantum expert witness in Singapore and on a range of construction cases involving mediation, arbitration and litigation and also assisting various clients in the preparation of extension of time, loss and expense claims and providing support for pending adjudication, arbitration and litigation cases.
