Andy is originally from Scotland where he trained as a Quantity Surveyor in private practice. He left there in 1996 to move to the Isle of Man where he started contracting work. He has lived in New Zealand for over 11 years now, moving here in 2006.

Andy is the Managing Director of Construction Cost Consultants (CCC) and oversees all functions within the company. He also sits on our board of directors, and he takes great pride in the fact he founded Construction Cost Consultants in 2010 and has played a large part in arriving at where we are today. He is a proud Registered Quantity Surveyor and a member of the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors and Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. He is also a Fellow of Quantity Surveying International. Andy is involved in both the construction and insurance sides of our business and likes nothing more than being challenged by new ideas.

He also spent seven years working as a PQS (Professional Quantity Surveyor) in Scotland. Andy is very passionate about change and how change can help our industry become more efficient and attractive to new candidates to come and work in our industry.

Andy has two children, Quianna (21) who is studying at university in Auckland and Dylan (19) who is a keen footballer currently on a 4 year scholarship in the United States.

A central Otago man born and bred, Brett decided to spread his wings for his O.E.  After working in the contracts division of The Ministry of Works and completing an Engineering Cadetship, he decided to head overseas. After many adventures, he eventually ended up in London doing many jobs which included a stint in accounting, some ski instructing in Austria, and he was employed as a  team supervisor on an off-shore rig. He eventually ended up forming a company and securing a large contract in the stone industry, where he settled for nine years carrying out many top-end restoration projects specialising in castles and top listed heritage buildings around Europe. During that journey, he was engaged by the British Stone Federation as a consultant and sent on projects all around the Northern hemisphere.

After 12 years in the U.K. and after getting married Brett decided it was time to head back to NZ to settle down and have a family. He continued to work in the construction industry, specialising in the restoration of heritage buildings and top-end architecturally designed homes. As projects in this industry involved a lot of travel within NZ, after two years of commuting to Christchurch and the Pacific region Brett decided he needed a change. It was at this point he rekindled a relationship he had previously with Construction Cost Consultants and joined the team in 2013.

Brett manages the team involved in  developing the systems and processes currently used in the Sum Insured arm of the business which led to building the CCC app; ValueIt. This is an integral tool and is used on all our Sum Insured valuations both domestic and commercial.

Brett’s current role in CCC is National Survey Manager. In this role, he oversees the surveying teams around the country. He is involved in all stages of our surveyor’s role, from recruitment through their training process and ongoing assessments.

For leisure, Brett enjoys socialising and sport. He is an avid rugby follower and loves watersports too… in fact, there aren’t many sports that Brett isn’t keen on!
