Construction consultancy recruits senior hire
Oliver Gregory is joining the senior team at Leeds-based Quantum Consult and will be based out of the company’s Thorpe Park office.
The firm provides a wide range of quantity surveying, contract management, construction claims, and dispute resolution services to the construction and engineering sectors in the UK and abroad.
Gregory has more than 30 years of experience in the construction industry and has previously worked as a claims consultant for Tungsten Capital in Doha, an MEP quantity surveyor at Royal BAM in Tanzania, and as a quantity surveyor for companies in Ukraine.
Circling back to the UK, Gregory will bring his experience of experience of arbitration and adjudication, including on heavy construction projects such as major bridge, airport, and transport schemes, as well as school and hospital developments to Quantum.
Gregory said: “In my experience spanning both the construction company, as a client, and specialist construction lawyers, the use of construction claims consultants like Quantum can be very cost effective, especially where the consultant has been involved in the non-contentious stages of a project.
“Construction contracts are always complex. So whatever issues have been identified or encountered, such as delays, a payment dispute, allegations of defective work or poor workmanship and variation disputes, or issues raised relating to time, deadlines and design issues, the earlier we are involved, the better.
“And our support can be extremely beneficial to contractors and sub-contractors of all kinds, helping to minimise their financial risk and alleviate the stress associated with such issues.”
