Andrew began his career in 1985 as a draughter in Wellington. He spent three years there working on commercial and high rise structures. In 1988 he spent six months working for a small consultancy in London working on residential apartment buildings and the strengthening of Victorian & Edwardian buildings.
Following his return to New Zealand he worked as a contract basis for many consultancies and building-related companies, in the Wellington area, developing CAD skills on everything from oil and chemical tank farms to precast shop detailing to large printing press buildings. Whilst doing this he also attended Victoria University and completed a bachelors degree in Commerce.
After a 14 month stint in Hawkes Bay with a medium-sized consultancy he joined, what was then, Ormond Stock Associates at the start of 2000 in the fledgling Wellington office.
Since then he has been involved in most large projects undertaken in the office. Notable projects include: The Grove Mill Winery Extension, Aitken Street Apartments, Latitude 41 Apartments, AB Equipment, Spicers Paper Warehouse, Porsche & Audi showrooms, Countdown Newtown store, The Hutt Indoor Sports facility, Ohakea Helicopter Hangar, The Backbencher Hotel, Patent Apartments.
Recently he has been mostly busy with aged care facilities.
Andrew is driven by a desire to find practical, cost effective solutions to construction detailing and doing so as quickly as possible for clients and builders.
