Short Biography:

general construction maintenance projects.
 

As a qualified Dipl.Ing. (Diplom-Ingenieur), Technical University Berlin, Germany

Im currently chartered as an Architect #103407 at the AKNW Germany.

Because I am providing expertise and advice for waterproofing, 

I decided to underpin my consultancies's expertise

in addition to the other formal qualifications.

When I worked in a team of specialist project engineers

waterproofing and hard floor finishes, including most

major projects in Australia and the $7B  Barangaroo

project in Sydney.
