Hello

I'm Joseph, founder of Goodlight Cost Consultants. During the course of my career I've seen both sides of the construction contract  - contractor and developer - and I set up Goodlight to bring that perspective and experience to growing businesses who need senior QS support without the overhead.

My Story

I've been fascinated by construction for as long as I can remember, and I still love building things now, even if these days it's mostly with my kids!
 

When it came to choosing a career, I wanted to be close to the action, not stuck behind a desk every day. Quantity Surveying was a natural fit.
 

I started out working for a main contractor, where I got stuck into every phase of the project lifecycle: estimating, tendering, contract negotiation, valuations, variations, and final accounts. I learned how to manage risk, work with subcontractors and suppliers, and deliver results under pressure. It was a brilliant grounding in the commercial realities of construction.
 

From there, I moved into consultancy, supporting other main contractors as an external QS. More recently, I've worked with contractor-developers on their own projects, which has given me a broader perspective on both sides of the contract.
 

One of the things I enjoy most about consulting is the variety. I get to work with different organisations, different leaders, and different approaches to business. Every project brings something new.
 

I'm a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS) and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (MCIArb).

 

Over my career so far, I've worked on projects totalling more than £100m in construction works combined, from luxury homes to healthcare and education facilities.


I founded Goodlight to offer growing contractors the kind of hands-on, senior-level support that's often hard to find, without the layers and overhead that come with larger firms. When you work with Goodlight, you work directly with me.

​

If that sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
