With a career in construction over 20 years, Stuart is an extremely proficient and respected Registered Building Inspector who holds a Class 3-4 RBI competency registration with the Chartered Association of Building Engineers.

Stuart has extensive knowledge across construction legislation with specialisms in the Building Act 1984, Building Regulations 2010, Registered Building Control Approver Regulations 2024, Building Safety Act 2022, and the Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) Regulations 2023.

In addition to his legislative knowledge, he holds specialisms in the Approved Documents which include Approved Document B Fire Safety, Approved Document L Conservation of Fuel & Power, Approved Document O Overheating, and Approved Document Q Security. These specialisms extend to the British Standards and Eurocodes and he is always keen to expand his knowledge through a robust CPD and training regime, in Stuart’s own words “Everyday is an opportunity to learn and to expand your knowledge, this can only help to make you a more well-rounded surveyor, and by doing so allowing yourself to be of the most use to your client.”

Stuart leads CHPK’s Registered Building Control Approver ACT Building Control and Principal Designer Advisor for Building Regulations for CHPK Building Safety Consultancy. His legislative and construction knowledge are invaluable in helping CHPK to deliver for their clients across both service lines, and he continues in upholding the group core values in his day-to-day activities. He has worked on buildings across England and Wales in the full gamut of building types from residential through commercial, healthcare, and stadia.

He works closely with the Chartered Association of Building Engineers and is a member of CABE’s CBICAS competency assessment team, and as professional membership assessor, this allows him to help shape the next generation of Registered Building Inspectors which he is passionate about as he strives through his training in both procedural, and legislative matters.
