Profile
I am an Architect with over 30 years’ experience. I trained at Robert Gordon University and completed my professional qualifications in 1990. Since graduating I have amassed extensive and diverse professional experience across a wide range and scale of project types.
This included time at E.C Riach in Glasgow where I was involved in tenement rehabilitation; ARA Architects in Exmouth, Devon where the work involved housing and commercial projects relating to the tourist industry; and the offices of Sasha Ivanovich and Interpacific Consultants in Western Australia where the work ranged from hotel work to bespoke housing to multi-billion dollar projects in developing China. Finally In 1996 I returned to my home country and became a partner in a busy Aberdeenshire based practice gaining very good local experience of all types of work, eventually becoming a sole practitioner in 2011.
Private new-build housing and home extensions consist of 90% of my work. As increasing pressure is placed upon us to increase the efficiency of the buildings we live in. I’ve gained good experience in providing very eco-friendly housing and have earned an Aberdeenshire Council Design Award in the “Sustainability” category for a new private house.
My Non-domestic portfolio consists of agricultural buildings, office buildings, Car maintenance workshop, Café’s, Vets surgeries and I have been lucky enough to do refurb and up-grade work to 6 Community Halls around the North East of Scotland.
I believe in treating any size of project with equal importance and I like to think I provide a full and friendly service. I am able to do all local authority work, ranging from Planning applications, Building Warrant applications and Listed Building Consents. My services then continue with obtaining tenders, and ensuring a high standard of construction throughout the completed project. I will also ensure you have all the official paperwork you require for your building file.
If you are thinking of starting a project, or even just a feasibility study, please get in touch for a free and friendly chat.
