About
Sam Kennedy.
A qualified carpenter and former commercial project manager who has been on the other side of the site meeting.
Background
Why he can be trusted with this.
- [Trade qualification, e.g. City & Guilds / apprenticeship details, and year]
- [Years of experience in construction / project management]
- [Notable past role, e.g. main contractor, developer, or project type]
- [Any relevant professional membership or certification]
[Headline, e.g. "Ran sites before he inspected them"]
[A specific, factual sentence about Sam's background that explains why he can tell a real defect from a cosmetic one, or why he knows exactly where a builder is likely to cut a corner.]
[Headline, e.g. "No incentive to look the other way"]
[A sentence on independence: no material orders, no schedule to protect, no relationship with the builder to preserve.]
[Headline, e.g. "Trade-qualified, not just clipboard-qualified"]
[A sentence on what trade experience specifically lets him catch that a purely administrative snagger would miss.]
In practice
A trade-qualified eye, not a checklist.
Sam Kennedy has been on the other side of the site meeting: running builds, managing subcontractors, and being handed a snag list by someone who had never picked up a tool. That experience shapes how Builders Supermarket works today. We look for the things a purely administrative inspection misses, and we say so plainly, in language your builder cannot talk their way around.
SK Building and Consultancy Ltd, trading as Builders Supermarket, operates strictly as an independent commercial and quality reviewer. Full detail on the scope and limits of that role is in our frequently asked questions.
