Director

Dave wrote the blueprint for The Building Intelligence Group 30 years ago. He was the driver of professional consultancy services and champion of our desire to act independently for our clients.

‘Be Impressive’ – a core company value - is still his mantra. As a Director and strategist, no one sees it as sharply as Dave. He takes a 360 degree view, adding significant front-end value to projects, based on years of delivering hundreds of projects with an emphasis on Government accommodation.
