In today’s episode, Paul is joined by Stephen Harpur, Managing Director at Sharpur Consultancy – a Chartered Construction Manager with more than 25 years in the industry. Stephen’s journey is anything but typical: he started as a labourer, worked every trade you can think of, and went on to lead some of the most complex, multimillion-pound construction projects in Northern Ireland.

This episode is all about what world-class construction management really looks like, and how project leaders, QSs, and PMs can raise the bar—together.

We talk about:

• What Stephen learned going from hands-on trades to boardroom leadership
  
  
• How to plan and manage a project from inception to “cutting the ribbon”
  
  
• Why every QS needs to spend more time on site
  
  
• Building alignment between commercial and delivery teams
  
  
• Lessons from subcontracting, consulting, and working on the largest live building project in NI

If you’ve ever felt that QSs and PMs should work more collaboratively, or you want to lead construction projects more effectively—this is one for you.
