Company Information
My experience is broad, after qualifying as an architectural technician, in my mid 20's I went back to 5 years of full time education and qualified as an architect.
Ten years later I enrolled on the MSc course in Construction Law and Arbitration at King's College London. I gained the MSc and went on to become a chartered arbitrator.
I've worked on buildings in the residential, social housing, commercial, retail, healthcare and leisure sectors, from the perspectives of sole practitioner, practice partner, contractor and arbitrator.
For most of my professional career I've been based in the South East of England. In 2007 I spent eight months working as a design manager for an architectural outsourcing company in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, after that I spent eight years living in Pelion, Greece. There followed a few years in Derbyshire before moving back south, to Hythe in Kent.
My interest in things new gives me the enthusiasm to keep abreast of modern methods of working. I use 3D design software, which enables me to quickly prepare clear visualisations of my ideas. My legal training helps me to quickly focus on the changes in legislative and procedural matters that one is faced with in the procurement of new building work.
I've worked on buildings in the residential, commercial, retail, healthcare and leisure sectors, from the perspectives of sole practitioner, practice partner, contractor and arbitrator.
In addition to the design, production information and project management services that architects provide, I'm able to help in matters relating to planning appeals and construction disputes.
My services can be tailored to suit your needs and I'm happy to charge on either a fixed fee, or hourly rate basis. Lately, the majority of my work has been for private clients, dealing with remodelling and new build projects. I intend to continue working as a sole practitioner, it enables me to remain competitive by providing my services free of VAT.
I understand the practicalities of building. In the past I've built, reconstructed and remodelled several of my own properties.

Feedback
Very impressed by the amount of knowledge he had. He was very helpful and I felt confident with him. I would recommend to others if they needed an architect Thankyou.
Architectural Services, Kent, G.Moloney - May 2020We instructed Andrew as an architect to design a home for development on land at the rear of our property. He happily worked within the constraints of the plot and also our budget, listening to our needs and providing suggestions to help us realise our aims. Calm, patient and knowledgable, he guided us through both the design stage and the pre-planning and planning applications. Sadly, our planning application was turned down but, undaunted, Andrew helped pursue the planning appeal and also an appeal for our costs. We are delighted to say that, with his help, we won both! We highly recommend Andrew and will certainly use his services again in the future - he is a joy to work with.

He has now submitted a planning application and I am confident he can provide the full service up to completion of the build project. First class.

We had the privilege to work with Andrew last year when we were carrying out a project on our house. As it turned out, applications for planning was not as straight forward as we had hoped and there were many complications due to lack of permitted development rights. Without Andrew's expertise and patience with dealing with the local council, we would have been unable to complete the project so we will be eternally grateful to him. We will certainly use his services again should any other projects be undertaken.
