This background gives Charles a unique insight into many of the projects undertaken at Ernest Griffiths, for which he has worked on and been responsible of a large variety. These range from the new-build, fit-out and refurbishment of hotels; shopping centres; offices; factories and further education facilities, to the undertaking of surveys and provision of advice relating to acquisitions; disposals and redevelopment; and construction monitoring. Charles has a particular interest in the design and implementation of low-energy engineering solutions.
