Biography

Steve has been able to capitalise on years of experience in pioneering integrated digital processes on major UK construction projects. This has given him great insight into the specific benefits that a structured data process can bring to all stages of construction, and furthermore enables him to provide sound guidance on how this can be successfully applied to the operations of a contracting organisation, at the same time as bringing the benefits to the client who needs to manage these facilities in the OPEX stage.

This experience has led to recent successes where Steve has helped several major contractors develop their Digital processes, and he has been heavily involved in supporting the project bid process, managing information needs documentation, protocol and ensuring the clients’ requirements to BIM are fully achieved. Information Management needs to cover all phases; design, build and manage. Steve has experience in all three – from COBie drops and extending the use of digital technology to support on-site activities, through to handover to the operations phase and supporting the BSA for the requirements through the golden thread to the gateways.
