Notes from the author

This opinionated collection of articles on property development is still a work in progress. After completing the first draft of Chapter 6, I realised that writing about my professional life was not going to be an easy task. I wanted to craft what I believe to be an important message to anyone dealing with the construction industry, but as with everything in life, it takes time to put something meaningful together. As a result, the majority of the chapters are still in progress.

I have included a tentative date for each publication. See the dates in brackets. Initially, my plan was to write a chapter a month, but my research commitments, family and work have got in the way. At the moment I have no idea when I will be able to complete this project, but rest assured I hope to get it over the line one day, and I am currently working on it; slowly.

Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy reading what has been written already. Please keep in mind that the text hasn’t been proofread yet. If you would like to be notified when new material is published here, please send me an to [e-mail] with the subject line “keep me posted” and I will add you to the notification list. Alternatively you can also email me your comments and suggestions, as these are always welcome.

Before you start reading please note that although I have drawn on my professional experience to write these articles, the end result is a work of fiction. Names, characters, companies, places, events, locations and incidents mentioned in this collection of articles are either the product of my imagination or have been used in a fictional manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual events is purely coincidental.

Yes, you are right, the above paragraph was the disclaimer.
