Dai Evans - Chartered Architectural Technologist

So tomorrow I head down to Leicester to present my research to a room full of architecture lecturers. This should be an interesting experience!!!

I’m honoured to have been awarded a Professional Doctorate in Engineering (DEng) from Leeds Beckett University.

My thesis—“Assessing BIM Competency in Architectural Technology: A Framework for Enhancing Architectural Technology Education in the United Kingdom and Ireland”—explores how we can better prepare Architectural Technology Professionals to meet the demands of information management in the digital built environment.

As the construction industry continues its shift toward data-driven delivery, effective information management through BIM is no longer optional—it's essential. This research proposes a competency framework that helps bridge the gap between education and the complex information management roles Architectural Technology Professionals are increasingly expected to fulfil.

This work supports the development of future professionals as strategic contributors to safer, smarter, and more accountable design and construction processes.

We've been very quiet on social media for far too long. This is for various reasons, from doing my Doctorate, work flow coming just from word of mouth, and the arrival of grandchildren. But we are still going strong, still work with amazing clients and we are now a proud sponsor of Woodhouse Warriors ARLFC

There's currently long delays in planning decisions coming through from various planning authorities. If you have been thinking about extending your property you need to plan more than the standard 8 weeks for planning.

We currently have planning applications pending in North and South Wales, a few dotted around Leeds, and more elsewhere across Yorkshire.

What a busy weekend! 2 appointments, 4 potential new clients, 2 surveys completed and our first step into the education sector.

It's great to see so many people looking to extent or adapt their their property to suit their needs.
