Harris Associates Welcomes new clerk of works
Published: 18/04/2023
Harris Associates is pleased to welcome the newest member of the team, Raymond Duncan. Raymond recently joined the team as a Clerk of Works and has a BEng in Civil Engineering and over 8 years of post-graduate experience in Jamaica.
Raymond’s expertise includes monitoring and managing construction works, for commercial and residential developments in both the private and public sectors.
Raymond has also been involved in the refurbishment of laboratories, large residential developments, and the construction of the first Net Zero building in Jamaica, which has gone on to be the blueprint for future Net Zero buildings in the country. Raymond has worked alongside main Civil and General engineering contractors and consultants and his previous job before joining Harris was with a housing agency in Jamaica.
Since moving to the UK in 2022, Raymond has quickly adapted to life in London. Although he finds the tube very busy he likes the fact that he doesn’t have to drive as much as he is used to in Jamaica. It’s undeniable that the UK weather is no comparison to the balmy Caribbean climate, however, Raymond reports that it got so hot during the working day that he has no complaints about his new environment and more ambient temperatures.
Raymond said “I’m pleased to have joined Harris Associates and am looking forward to sharing my expertise in a new environment. I am dedicated to ensuring that buildings are built correctly and fit for purpose, so people can enjoy them and I’m glad that I’m able to further broaden my skills at such a great company”.
As someone who has worked both on the construction and consultancy side, Raymond has developed a hybrid outlook to his role, taking the best qualities from aspects of the two sectors, enabling him to hone his keen eye for detail, which enables him to ensure his projects adhere to the design and that all construction oversight is accurately implemented.
Shaun Harris, MD at Harris Associates said “We’re delighted that Raymond has joined us as we’ve been looking for the right person for some time. We could tell very quickly that he was a perfect fit for us and he’s already a fantastic addition and a well-liked member of the team”.
