Erdal Zorbozan is the Director of E Z Design and Construction Ltd, bringing over 35 years of experience across construction, plastering, external wall insulation, rendering, and site supervision. His role combines hands-on trade knowledge with formal academic education and professional qualifications, ensuring projects are delivered with technical accuracy, regulatory compliance, and long-term performance in mind.
Erdal Zorbozan is the Director of E Z Design and Construction Ltd, a specialist contractor delivering External Wall Insulation (EWI) and External Rendering solutions across North Kent and South East London.
With more than 35 years in the construction industry, his career represents a rare combination of hands-on trade expertise, formal site management qualifications, design coordination experience, and advanced academic education in sustainable building design and engineering.
This blend of practical workmanship and technical understanding defines how the company operates today: methodical, detail-driven, and focused on long-term building performance rather than short-term appearance.
A construction career built from the ground up
The foundations of this career were laid on site.
Erdal Zorbozan first entered the construction industry in 1986–1987, working as a labourer. Those early years provided first-hand exposure to real site conditions: preparation, sequencing, weather constraints, safety, and the realities of how buildings are actually constructed—not just how they are drawn.
That experience continues to shape decision-making today. It encourages respect for trades, realistic programming, and an understanding that high-quality finishes rely on what happens long before the final coat is applied.
From sole trader to specialist façade contractor
Erdal Zorbozan started working in 1996, as a sole-trade plasterer in London under the individual’s own name. As demand grew and reputation strengthened, the business evolved naturally:
- E Z Plastering
- E Z Plastering and Rendering
- and ultimately E Z Design and Construction Ltd
The name “E Z” is often misunderstood. It is not a marketing invention or a branding shortcut. It simply reflects the director’s initials. The intention has always been clarity, accountability, and pride in workmanship rather than gimmickry.
The business grew through repeat work, word-of-mouth recommendations, and consistent delivery—not advertising-led expansion.
Trade qualifications, NVQ competence and CSCS accreditation
When the UK construction industry formalised trade competence through CSCS cards and NVQ frameworks, there was already a well-documented work history in place.
In 1998, NVQ Level 2 in Plastering was awarded through what was commonly known as grandfather rights, supported by proven records of sustained site experience. This led to the issue of the CSCS Blue Skilled Worker card.
Progression did not stop there. Higher-level qualifications followed, including:
- NVQ Level 3 in Solid Plastering (advanced and complex finishes)
- NVQ Level 3 in Occupational Work Supervision / Site Supervision
These qualifications supported supervisory-level CSCS accreditation and formalised what had already been practiced on site: quality control, sequencing, and responsibility for others’ work.

Recognising the limits of experience alone
While Erdal Zorbozan as director of E Z Contracts Ltd (now folded), years of experience had been accumulated across construction, refurbishment, and property maintenance.
However, a clear realisation emerged:
experience is essential, but academic understanding deepens professional judgement.
Understanding why materials behave as they do, how regulations are formed, and where performance risks originate requires structured study—particularly as the industry moves toward energy efficiency, retrofit, and sustainability.
That recognition led to a return to formal education.
CIOB site management education
The next step for Erdal Zorbozan was completion of the CIOB Level 4 Certificate and Diploma in Site Management at North West Kent College—programmes designed specifically for experienced site professionals without formal academic backing.
Certificate modules included:
- Industry and management
- Organising and resourcing projects
- Managing sub-contractors
- Developing people
- Improving managerial skills
- Services management
Diploma modules included:
- Project planning
- Managing quality of site work
- Health, safety, welfare and risk
- Estimating and measuring works
- Site surveying and levelling
- Computing
- Contractual and legal responsibilities
These studies formalised skills that had been developed on site, adding structure, documentation discipline, and regulatory awareness.
Understanding competence from both sides: NVQ assessor experience
During this period, Erdal Zorbozan also worked as a registered NVQ Assessor, assessing qualifications for recognised awarding bodies.
This experience provided insight into:
- evidence requirements
- quality assurance processes
- assessment standards
- what genuine competence looks like beyond paperwork
Qualifications assessed included plastering, interior systems, concrete occupations, and substructure works.
This background continues to influence company standards today. Site work is approached with the same scrutiny expected in formal assessment—because compliance and quality must be demonstrable, not assumed.
BSc (Hons) Design & Construction Management – First Class
For Erdal Zorbozan next stage was completion of a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Design & Construction Management at the University of Greenwich, graduating with First Class Honours.
This degree extended beyond traditional construction management. It focused heavily on design coordination and design management, including the integration of multiple disciplines such as:
- architecture
- structural engineering
- building services
- mechanical and electrical design
- acoustics, lighting, and landscape design
Key modules included:
- Engineering and management in design and construction
- Construction contract administration
- Sustainable construction
- Construction contract law
- Professional practice
- Design and construction management
Dissertation topic:
Association of Indoor Air Quality with Occupants’ Health and Wellbeing
This research marked a turning point, directly influencing later interest in building performance, indoor comfort, and fabric-first design strategies.

Early career experience in major public-sector projects
Following graduation, work commenced immediately with a major UK contractor in the role of Design Coordinator, contributing to large public-sector developments and complex refurbishment schemes within live environments.
Responsibilities included:
- coordinating multidisciplinary design teams
- managing the appointment and performance of consultants
- chairing design team meetings
- tracking statutory and regulatory approvals
- managing design risk and CDM considerations
- supporting value engineering and buildability reviews
This exposure to multi-million-pound projects for public bodies and higher-education institutions reinforced the importance of clear information flow, buildability, and risk control—skills that now inform domestic and residential projects at a different scale.
MSc Sustainable Building Design & Engineering
To deepen technical understanding further, a Master of Science in Sustainable Building Design & Engineering was completed at the University of Greenwich, awarded with Merit.
Modules studied included:
- Building rehabilitation and pathology
- Passive design
- Building integrated systems and technologies
- Building simulation
- Sustainable and healthy buildings
- Risk management and research methods
MSc Dissertation:
The barriers to implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) at the early stage of building design
This programme directly supports expertise in:
- external wall insulation systems
- retrofit and refurbishment
- moisture risk and building pathology
- thermal performance and detailing
- BIM-supported design coordination
These subjects are not generic construction topics; they align closely with façade upgrades and performance-led retrofit.
Passivhaus thinking, BIM and fabric-first principles
Professional interests include:
- Passivhaus (Passive House) principles
- Ultra-low energy building design
- Building simulation and performance modelling
- BIM and Autodesk Revit workflows
This perspective influences how projects are approached. External Wall Insulation is treated as part of the building envelope system, not a cosmetic overlay.
Attention is given to:
- junction detailing
- moisture movement
- thermal bridging
- substrate condition
- sequencing and curing
- long-term durability
The aim is simple: deliver façades that look good and perform properly.
