Leeds-based quantity surveying and construction dispute resolution consultancy Quantum Consult has strengthened its team with the appointment of Oliver Gregory as senior consultant.
Oliver brings over 30 years’ industry experience to Quantum Consult. After initially working in the building services and engineering industries, Oliver’s career has developed to span many other areas of construction, including through work with Tier 1 main contractors and specialist sub-contractors, and today he specialises in resolving commercial and contractual disputes.
Oliver adds to the expertise within the Quantum Consult team, bringing extensive 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.
His wide-ranging experience in engineering and quantity surveying within multi-national organisations, as well as in much smaller enterprises, gives him a unique perspective and oversight.
Oliver 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.”
