One of his biggest achievements in the construction industry was the Contract administration & Cost Management of the 5 star Trans Asia Hotel – Colombo which cost Rs 1.5 Billion in 1984.

Having given up Quantity Surveying since migration to Brisbane, he is now involved in the more challenging professions of Project Management  and Property Development.. His son Imran is also a Director of Peak Property Group.
