Over 30 Years of Construction Experience

Construction has been my career for more than three decades.

Throughout that time, I’ve worked across residential construction, site management and quality inspections, developing a thorough understanding of how buildings are designed, constructed and maintained.

This practical knowledge allows me to identify not only visible defects but also the underlying causes behind many common property problems.

Every inspection combines professional surveying techniques with real-world construction experience.


Why I Founded NW Snag Surveys

NW Snag Surveys was established with one clear objective – to provide honest, independent property inspections without selling repair work or unnecessary treatments.

Many inspection companies also offer repair services, which can create a conflict of interest.

I chose a different approach.

My role is to inspect your property, explain my findings clearly and provide practical, unbiased recommendations so you can make informed decisions.

My reputation depends on providing honest advice rather than selling additional services.
