RICHARD LYDEN
Richard has over 12 years of combined hands-on construction management experience, having previously worked as a Site Agent for a UK firm on varying projects from government to commercial and residential before relocating to the Cayman Islands in 2016.
Richard’s strong background in construction and craftsmanship started with his national vocational qualifications as a bricklayer and foreman at Colchester Institute in Essex, UK. This apprenticeship experience was the catalyst for his career in working on complex, enduring, and innovative building solutions that engage the whole project team and environment.
During his time in Cayman, Richard has successfully delivered contracts with a value of over $300M, working across a variety of sectors including education, government, commercial, infrastructure and high-end residential. He most recently worked as the Head of Construction for a major on-island construction company before becoming a founding partner of DBM Construction.
Richard uses his well-rounded ability to blend building experience, effective communication, and problem-solving skills to help clients with early advice and expertise on prospective projects, whilst managing and coordinating all construction activities across our portfolio to ensure that all project deliverables are achieved.
