    David Watt

    - Founder / Director
    After 25+ years of witnessing various project stakeholders’ struggle through the development and building approvals maze caused by the lack of understanding of the complex process, motivated David to open his own business and pioneer a new service offering, the first of its kind in Australia.
     
    Since opening, Watt Next Management has successfully offered a distinctive range of consulting services across Australia, specialising in managing and expediting the Building, Development and Strata Certification processes.
     
    David’s success lies within his unique forte to foresee risks and resolve issues in the application process across all asset classes due to his background as a former council / private Building Certifier (A1 unrestricted level) and Project / Development Manager for Australia’s largest residential high rise builder / developer (Meriton Apartments).
     
    His project management experience includes the entire development cycle (design management, procurement, approvals, contract administration, delivery and handover) of large scale multi-unit high rise residential / serviced apartments up to $250 million.
     
    In addition he has acted as an in-house Building Code of Australia specialist at Meriton Apartments and project managed upgrades and refurbishments of large commercial buildings on behalf of Blue Chip clients. He also currently shares his knowledge and passion for the industry with the next generation in his capacity as a lecturer for High Rise Construction at the University of Technology, Sydney.
