Not only does Chris have an excellent grasp of archaeology, but also how this impacts on developers in commercial terms. He was also very helpful as an expert witness at a planning appeal.
He worked closely with our barrister, heritage consultants & planning consultants, which resulted in a successful outcome.
Chris attended team meetings & provided regular update reports, thus enabling us to factor unforeseen discoveries into our development programme.
His understanding of a developers’ need for accurate assessments & his astute awareness of timing issues proved to be invaluable!
We started working with Chris Thomas whilst he was with MOLA & have found his guidance & advice to be second to none.
Chris was able to apply a fair & balanced sense of perspective & was put in charge of overseeing the contractors and liaising with the local authority.
He took charge of the associated paperwork (all of which was properly approved), which in turn removed the speculation & assisted in mitigating unreasonable costs.
