Leon is a Project Manager with a deep knowledge of building techniques and processes. His interpersonal skills and wealth of team management experience compliment the know-how he brings to every project.
Born in Russia, Leon is a 3rd generation builder. Such lineage means his love for construction began at an early age. That love and depth of knowledge result in a passion for the industry that is on display to everyone that knows him.
Continuing to develop and refine his knowledge on every job, Leon delights in any chance to discuss wide-ranging construction topics. Whether it’s how to build a sauna from logs and moss without a single nail, or the use of latest Bluetooth technology in lighting control, to his clients and colleagues Leon brings unrivalled passion and expertise.
Through his career Leon has worked with clients in various sectors. His clients include the Department of Defence, NSW Police, institutional landlords and developers such as Mirvac, Dexus, Investa and BGIS.
Outside of work Leon cherishes family time. Having lived and traveled through Europe extensively, he has developed an abiding passion for Architecture, Art and Design. Other interests include reading, timepieces, photography and golf.

What drives us
Clients
From an individual to an institution, our focus is on working with trust, integrity and respect. These principles bring about valuable collaboration, which is essential to success of the project.
People
Every project delivered in the construction sector is ultimately aimed at improving the day to day lives of human beings. At inception, it may be brought about to increase the value of a home, commercial asset or improve the capability of a Government Defence base. However, ultimately the changes are designed to positively affect the experience of the End User, the people. While we focus on numbers and strategy, our goal is to never lose sight of the final objective.
Trust
Implementation of any additional process or service, in particular those focused on due diligence and transparency, is a challenge when it comes to the fast-paced world of construction.
As pioneering industry consultants, we believe the purpose of our involvement in each project is to improve not just the final outcome, but the process as a whole. For that reason, each of the services performed by RFT Consultancy has been designed to bridge essential gaps in probity, while either meeting or expediting the original project schedule.
Sustainability
We look to identify and reduce both the environmental and social impacts of our internal operations and the projects on which we work.
Innovation
RFT Consultancy was created by a vision to innovate and enhance the routine, stale practices within the construction sector. To innovate the practices of an industry, one needs a wealth of knowledge and substantial first-hand experience to identify the “gaps”. Our range of services has been tailored to improve the practices in the design, construction and refurbishment sectors for all tiers of project stakeholders.
Value
Our involvement in a project starts with a “Value Test”. Through our innovative approach and range of services, we ensure that our engagement adds Financial Value far beyond “return on investment”.
