The Advisor
Independent advice you can act on.
Over 45 years in construction delivery — across general contracting, estimating, project management and commercial oversight. I've been on both sides of the contract, which means I know exactly where the risk sits and how it's often hidden from clients.
Build Decision Authority exists because that independent view wasn't available at a fixed, accessible price. It is now.
The Problem
Too many projects move forward for the wrong reasons.
"We've already spent money." "It should be fine." "We'll sort it later." These are the phrases that precede the most costly construction mistakes homeowners and developers make.
The people advising clients on whether to proceed are almost always the same people who benefit from the project going ahead — builders, architects, agents. The advice is not independent, because it can't be.
Build Decision Authority exists to provide the independent view that wasn't previously available at a fixed, accessible price point.
The Background
Experience that informs every assessment.
Build Decision Authority draws on over 45 years of construction delivery experience across general contracting, project management, estimating and commercial oversight — spanning residential, commercial and mixed-use projects at every scale.
Combined with BIM and 3D modelling capability, drone survey and photogrammetry qualifications, and professional photography, this is a genuinely unusual combination of skills — applied exclusively to client-side advisory.
We do not build. We do not refer. We do not manage projects. We advise — independently, at a fixed price, with a clear written recommendation.
