Analytical, organised and fast!

Since arriving in the antipodes in 2003, Adrian has sharpened his skills in detailing for structural, civil, marine and residential construction projects.  He is highly competent at producing and presenting 2D and 3D drawings across a wide range of software applications including Autocad, Revit, BricsCAD, Sketchup, MicroStation, Powercad, Turbocad, Strucad, e-on Software, Vue 6 Esprit and Poser 7.

Adrian understands what is required to deliver a quality design project, from planning the design work efficiently, producing 3D models to check for unforeseen clashes between building elements, bespoke flashing design and presenting clear and fully detailed information, to using Auckland Council’s online application portal.

His analytical and organisational skills in the preparation of design documentation are second to none… and he’s fast!


Adrian provides a refreshingly willing, dedicated and professional contribution to our team.

Homestar Assessor

Adrian is qualified with the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) as a Homestar Assessor and is able to carry out and assess designs and existing buildings in accordance with the Homestar rating tool.

Aim for perfection

At Reveal BC we believe it is far better to aim for perfection at design and construction stage, rather than aim for ‘Minimum necessary to achieve council sign-off’ and hope for the best. Otto von Bismarck once said ‘…Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.’
