A Practical Approach to Difficult Technical Work

I’m a Leeds-based Technical Lead and Senior Architectural Technologist with 29 years’ industry experience. My career spans retirement living and care, purpose-built student accommodation, commercial, retail, fit out, MOJ and private residential projects.

Taking Ownership,
Making Things Work

The recurring theme in my career is becoming the person involved in difficult technical issues: working through the detail, coordinating information and helping teams deliver consistently in Revit.

I helped establish Revit delivery at Cunniff Design from the practice’s inception. At Box Architects, I combined project leadership with line management and improvements to the ISO 9001 drawing review process. Most recently, from May to October 2026, I was part of the management team at Torsion Care, playing a key role in the development of an in-house design department.

My work brings design coordination together with delivery planning, technical standards and staff development. I prefer clear responsibility and buildable solutions, identifying information gaps and resolving problems before they reach site.

Alongside my employed roles, I have worked directly with homeowners since 2002, developing extensions and new homes through planning, Building Regulations and practical construction support. Measured building surveys and existing-building information have formed part of my project delivery since around 2001, ranging from individual residential properties and retail fit outs to targeted site verification on larger commercial projects.

Professional Approach

Approach to Technical Delivery

I see drawings and design information as one of the core products of an architectural service. They should not only be technically accurate and coordinated, but also consistent, visually clear and easy for clients, consultants and contractors to understand and use.

Well-structured information reduces ambiguity, improves coordination and makes projects easier to deliver. I have applied that principle throughout my career when developing Revit standards and project workflows, and when producing and reviewing technical information.
