He is the founder of Ionica Construction Consultancy, supporting investors and developers in managing their projects effectively.

In this session, Tom will show how smart due diligence helps uncover hidden risks before they impact your timeline, budget, and decisions.

From decontamination and unexpected utilities upgrades to essential repairs, you’ll learn how to identify and plan for these challenges early and approach projects with greater clarity and control.

  • Common overlooked costs in property projects
  • How to budget and plan effectively from the outset
  • A clearer approach to decision-marking under pressure
  • Practical insights from real project experience
  • Live Q&A for real-world application

A practical evening for landlords, investors, and property professionals who want to protect their projects and make more confident decisions.

About Reading Property Meet

Reading Property Meet is a room for people who are serious about property.

Each month, investors, landlords, sourcers and developers come together to talk about what they’re doing, what they need and where they’re going.

You meet people, you hear what’s happening in the market, and you start to see where the opportunities are.

The value is in the room.

  • Conversations with people who are actively doing deals
  • A clear view of what others are working on
  • Insight you can use in your own decisions
  • The chance to say what you need and connect with the right people
  • Relationships that continue after the event

People come back because the room stays useful.
