Business Adviser


Since 2005 Richard has been advising and supporting practices, businesses which supply the industry and government. After leading BDP he has been vice-president of the RIBA and a member of the Construction Industry Council Executive Board. He is now a non-executive director of BLP Insurance, a specialist in construction coverage and chairman of the Joint Contracts Tribunal. He has thus remained at the centre of a changing industry.

Since 2012 Richard has been at the heart of the UK push to introduce Building Information Modelling as the normal working method for design, construction and operation of built assets. On the government? s BIM Steering Group in 2012-13, he wrote ’Growth through BIM’ for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. This looked at the opportunities and threats from BIM across the entire value chain. His new book, BIM for Construction Clients, focusses on what clients and their advisers can do to gain full advantage of the new methods. Richard? s appointment in 2015 as associate director of Deploi BIM Strategies enables him to provide broad support to businesses developing their capability in BIM. His position on the Advisory Board of Ecodomus, the provider of Common Data Environments, adds to his awareness of client and supplier need.
