“Having worked with David and PPP on New Road Triangle, I was thoroughly impressed with the whole team’s attitude. They went over and above the standard scope, ensuring the project ran smoothly, co-ordinating with us and other stakeholders regularly and carried out the pivotal role of co-ordinating the other consultants. We achieved an early finish and came in under budget, due to strong collaborative approach from everyone involved.”
