Bio

Craig co-founded Rohan Short with Adam in 2023. He has worked in the construction industry since 2005, delivering developments across the UK, with a particular focus on Bristol and the wider South West. He has played a leading role in some of the region’s most prominent commercial and mixed-use schemes.

His experience spans commercial offices, residential, education, retail, hospitality, student accommodation, manufacturing, and industrial and logistics developments. He also has significant expertise in major office refurbishment and fit-out projects.

Craig originally studied Mathematics before completing a part-time master’s degree in Construction Cost Management while working in consultancy. He qualified as a chartered quantity surveyor in 2008.

Throughout his career, Craig has advised a broad range of private- and public-sector clients. His early experience included innovation and research facilities, public estate developments and major upgrades to operational manufacturing facilities.

Craig subsequently progressed to lead a large team of quantity surveyors, overseeing the delivery of several landmark developments across Bristol and the South West. His experience includes major new Grade A office buildings and complex mixed-use schemes incorporating residential, retail, hotel and student accommodation. He has advised on projects across the full project lifecycle, from initial feasibility and cost planning through procurement, construction and completion.

Before co-founding Rohan Short, Craig helped establish the Bristol office of a specialist consultancy and expand its real estate offering. During this period, he continued to lead major commercial developments while broadening his experience across the industrial, logistics and purpose-built student accommodation sectors.

At Rohan Short, Craig combines extensive project delivery experience with strong team leadership and a detailed understanding of the Bristol and South West property markets.
