What I Can Help You With

I can support clients with complete fire protection engineering or individual engineering deliverables, including design, calculations, drawings, BIM modelling, technical review and documentation.

I am particularly interested in long-term remote engineering support and part-time projects where my senior-level fire protection and piping experience can add value.

My objective is to provide technically sound, code-compliant and practical fire protection solutions with clear engineering documentation and timely delivery.
