I arrived in Australia from Bangladesh at age five with my parents. My dad came here on a skills visa and a scholarship to complete his PhD at Sydney University. Everything felt new. A new language. A new way of doing things. Classroom conversations moved faster than I could follow at first. I learnt to work harder than the problem in front of me, to prepare more than I thought I needed, and to keep showing up. Those early lessons shaped how I study, how I lead and how I build.
Learning English was a long run, not a sprint. I focused on practical habits that still guide me today. Listen carefully. Ask clear questions. Write things down. Do the work twice if that is what it takes to get it right. Step by step, school became a place where effort paid off. I set myself uncompromising goals and used education to meet them.
I trained as an engineer at UNSW and then completed a Master of Project Management at UTS 4 years later. The foundation was technical and disciplined. Early in my career I delivered complex live‑environment works. The project that shaped me most was the T1 International Reclaims Hall refurbishment at Sydney Airport. About 8,000 m² across 12 stages with passengers moving through the space every day. Client led design development continued while construction progressed. I learnt to phase works without disruption, protect safety while keeping pace, and keep stakeholders calm with steady communication.
Heritage work taught me a different kind of precision. Old buildings do not respond to force nor do they care about your programme. They reward patience, planning and respect. On the Adrian William Real Estate project in Newtown, I led the team that took over after an incomplete build. We re‑engaged trades, delivered structural upgrades and a lift, and protected the character of a prominent site. That job reinforced my belief that methodical work is the shortest path to a clean finish.
I founded Saha Projects to build the way I think a principal contractor should. Fewer jobs. More care. Clear reasons for each decision. Straight talk with clients, consultants and trades. I stay close as construction manager from start to finish and I am visible on site.
