He provides an in-depth understanding of how to manage risk throughout the project lifecycle, both as a contractor and client-side.
Matt oversees the review and preparation of procurement documentation for multiple forms of contract and panel agreements. This includes NZS 3910 Construct Only and NZS 3916 Design & Construct contracts (bridge rebuilds for Gisborne District Council); Conditions of Contract for Consultancy Services (CCCS) for designer procurement; and bespoke Target Outturn Cost models for local authorities such as Nelson City Council.
