With a passion for the built environment, the sustainable construction is Andrew’s career of choice. From a young age he has investigated tunnels, journeyed canals and studied buildings from Vienna to Vancouver. Experimenting with solar panels and home-made turbines, renewables and controls have also figured large in his interests. Today that excitement is channelled into delivering sustainable projects that are sustainable, affordable and exceed client requirements. With over 30 LEED projects complete or underway he has rapidly developed a breadth of
experience and knowledge.
