Joseph R. Scatliffe provides the leadership and vision for J.R. Scatliffe Consulting.  He is primarily responsible for overall project management and client relationship management.

Founder and managing director, he graduated in Physical (Urban) Planning and Environmental Resources Development (honors) from the University of Technology (Kingston, Jamaica) in 1994.  He subsequently established J.R. Scatliffe Consulting as an independent land development consulting enterprise specializing in the design of small-scale residential projects.

This scholastic background and continued academic training provides him with a wealth of knowledge and skills to implement and manage a residential project of any scale and form. His qualifications include a diploma in Construction Engineering (honours, 2007) and a certificate in Project Management (honours, 2005) from Algonquin College in Ottawa, Canada. Additonal training includes Urban Management from the University of Singapore (1998).  He has acquired extensive professional experience in land development control, town planning, hazard mitigation planning, and low cost residential housing (within the above Caribbean countries).

Joseph has a working knowledge of current building principles, planning, and building code requirements for St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.  In a professional capacity as a Senior Technical Physical Planner, he worked with the Government of the British Virgin Islands on a number of projects.  Some included the preparation of their physical development plan, multiple community development and subdivision plans. He also headed the design, implementation and establishment of a National Mitigation and Development Planning Framework - a mechanism designed to help reduce the negative impact of hurricanes and earthquakes on the community of the British Virgin Islands.

Joseph views each project’s design from a physical planning and hazard mitigation perspective, taking into account the client’s safety and protection of their property from the natural hazards (hurricanes and earthquakes) that negatively impact the Caribbean islands.
