Our people

People are at the core of OMISA. Solving problems, engineering value and creating some of the UK & Ireland`s most inspiring and exciting venues by working smarter, faster and more sustainably. Because we’re an independent consultancy and owner-operated, our people have the freedom to question convention and explore alternative approaches. They bring fresh eyes and thinking to the OMSIA process, which is grounded in specialist collaboration, Early Contractor involvement, design management and transparency across the sector. 

Our projects rarely rely only on one discipline so we work collaboratively with industry specialists from several disciplines (architects, cost accountants, design managers, quantity surveyors) each one contributing to the bigger picture to plan and build, safe, cost-effective venues.
