"I have formed Measured Twice with a view to making the building budget part of the design process so you get what you want within budget.

I have 30 years experience costing and valuing a range of building projects from light commercial buildings to subdivisions and infrastructure to residential houses and apartments.

My aim is to make the building process easier, clearer and less stressful by careful and detailed forward planning and costings at the start and then develop the budget as the project develops in a transparent manner."
