I have known Rob for several years while I was FD at Levolux. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob. He is a great communicator and his attention to detail is second to none. Rob is also very commercial in his approach to contract negotiation and dispute resolution. Highly Recommended.

Andrew James

      The redirection of Levolux gave me the opportunity to form an independent Freelance Estimating, Quantity Surveying & Commercial Management service from which I can share my experiences with small and Medium sized construction companies and sub-contractors wanting to benefit from a seasoned Commercial Director without the need to employ one on a permanent basis.
