Additional information
We use Autocad and Revit software packages to develop most of our projects (some legacy projects delivered in Microstation). Further training can be provided but we require individuals who can become quickly established on projects, so some experience of Revit in particular is essential. We work as a collaborative and proactive studio where communication and knowledge sharing is encouraged. Project work is supported by a programme of lunchtime talks, construction site visits and office trips.
