Roy’s adjudication experience includes Chair of the Mining Board of Manitoba from 2001 to 2011. Training includes five sessions on natural justice and procedural fairness by Supreme Court Justice Marshall Rothstein.

Roy’s development experience includes managing projects for not for profits, the largest of which was a 165 unit housing complex. His construction experience includes design only or design build of over $250M of residential, commercial, heavy and light industrial, institutional, public and private sector projects, the largest of which was the Forward Operating Location (FOL) at Rankin Inlet for the Department of Defense.

Roy earned his B.Sc., Engineering, in 1977, (with distinction) and earned his P. Eng. in 1980. His initial design experience was with the premiere structural consultant in Calgary during the boom of the early 80’s. The largest project where Roy was the structural engineer of record was a 27 storey office building in downtown Calgary.

When the boom in Calgary went bust, Roy relocated to Winnipeg with the largest Manitoba based consultant and expanded his scope to include multi-discipline design management. The FOL was the largest project that the firm had designed to that point in time.

Roy formed his own firm in 1993 and soon added design build to his repertoire. From 1993 to 2014, Roy undertook hundreds of complex projects where he greatly expanded his breadth of expertise.

For the last  9 years, Roy has been a construction dispute resolution practitioner and has resolved a range of multi-party disputes including delay claims, scope disputes, bid irregularities, construction defects, design errors, and contract disputes. Scale has ranged from over $100M to less than $10K. Roy issued the first construction adjudication decision in Canada.
