My Role in Your Project.As a Senior Architectural Technical Lead and Contract Administrator, I approach my role on all Architectural projects as been that of a construction facilitator; in so much that I see it as my remit to develop the designers brief into technically comprehensive documents, from which your project will develop into a tangible structure. Furthermore, part of my duties will be to act on your behalf as a contract administrator, endeavouring to ensure that the construction of your project follows your expectations.

It has become apparent over my 30 years in the Architectural industry in the UK, Australia and Canada (working on projects as varied as the University of Adelaide’s Profession building to Industrial Garages for unsealed road builders in the Canadian Boreal ‘Oil Patch’), that my mission in the architectural field is to take designers aspirations and develop them technically, into tangible, and if possible, Inspiring structures. Obviously not all designers are Frank Lloyd Wright, and not all designs are Notre Dame. However, be it a humble Industrial unit in West Yorkshire or a Municipal RCMP facility in the BC Hinterland, I like to believe that I engage the same professional commitment no matter what the size of the project. For me to “Fun” in the activity of architecture is understanding the concept of a desired space, assisting to develop its final form and then helping to create thephysical form for which it is intended.My personal interests include Film, Coaching and participating in football; when the time affords me to do so. Motorsport, when finance allows me to do so, and creative writing when I have enough Ink in my Pen!
