Beyond the numbers, Roger brings a rare balance of technical precision and strategic judgment to cost estimating and project assurance. With over 25 years in civil construction, he has built a national reputation for developing first principles estimates that stand up to audit and support clear investment decisions.

He has secured and led more than $2.5 billion in commercial tenders and prepared independent estimates and reports exceeding $50 billion for both government and private sector clients.

Roger’s work spans transport, power, and water sectors, combining construction insight with the discipline of cost governance to deliver confidence at every stage of project development.

Roger’s career includes leadership across more than 200 major infrastructure projects, including the M1 and Bruce Highways (QLD), Cross River Rail (QLD), Inland Rail (National), Rockhampton Ring Road (QLD), SA Water Program (SA), Ipswich Motorway Upgrade (QLD), and VicGrid Program (VIC). His approach ensures that estimates are not just accurate, but understood translating complex data into decisions that drive value and accountability.
