Constructing Confidence.

Cost-Driven Construction.

GroundWork Consulting was founded in 2023. From the outset, I was determined to build a company that offers a pure cost based approach to construction rather than design based approach.

National Experience.
Local Focus.

“Just like excavating the ground is the initial stage during construction, establishing a budget is your first priority in planning a project”. Over the past 10 years, I have worked with international cost management firms with focus in real estate solutions and delivering construction projects on time and on budget. In this journey, I came to realize that many cost consultants are engaged through design firms and not directly through the owner which leaves the owner underrepresented and borders a conflict of interest. I also realized there was a need to manage projects from cradle to grave rather than engaging a cost consultant for a one time estimate and then leaving the cost management to their design firm.

Serving our Clients & our Community.

I enjoy giving back to my profession and actively volunteers as a Board Member for the Newfoundland & Labrador Construction Safety Association (NLCSA) and Chair of the NL Chapter of Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors; where I focus on engaging with post secondary and high school students to expose quantity surveying as a profession.

GroundWork Consulting helps people with establishing confidence in their construction budget and managing their construction investment thereafter. To give our clients the best product, we focus on Attention to detail, understanding your limits, and providing a transparent and collaborative approach. At Ground Work, we take pride in working with clients like you to provide quality cost management advice, reporting, and exceptional customer service. We look forward to having you as a valued customer.
