Leads facade and envelope design across the practice, and signs off every elevation that leaves the office.
There is no separate delivery team here. The person who detailed a junction is the person a contractor calls about it eighteen months later, and that is deliberate.

Leads facade and envelope design across the practice, and signs off every elevation that leaves the office.

Runs the civil side — structure, ground and infrastructure — from survey through to site handover.

Owns construction documentation and the site oversight programme across concurrent projects.
Roughly even, on purpose. An exterior-heavy practice produces elevations that cannot be built; a civil-heavy one produces buildings nobody wants to look at.




Nothing is committed to a client that has not been drawn at scale first. A sketch that works at 1:100 and fails at 1:5 is not a design, it is an opinion.
Documentation quality is only ever proven on site. Leaving at the drawing-issue stage means never finding out whether the drawings were good enough.
Ground conditions, orientation and access set most of the eventual cost. If the news is bad it is cheapest to hear at week one, so that is when we say it.
Exterior and civil sit in the same room and review each other's work. A facade nobody costed and a frame nobody looked at are the same failure.
Roles below are indicative of what we usually need. We read speculative applications properly, so send one even if nothing here matches.
