Desk Study Reports have traditionally been a long, manual process: gather background data, pull maps, describe geology, add observations, draft conclusions, and finally write client recommendations. Each step takes time – often 3-5 hours per report, multiplied across dozens of reports per year. Turns a selection of the site on a map to BGS and

Automated Digital Signing for Engineering Drawings
Automated Digital Signing for Engineering Drawings

Client Context A mid-sized engineering consultancy needed to issue digitally signed PDFs for government and private sector projects. Signing wasn’t just a stamp – it required encrypted, certificate-backed signatures to prove authenticity and prevent tampering. The process was eating up time, distracting staff, and delaying submissions. The Challenge The Solution I built a secure web

Automated QA Checks for Drawings & Documents
Automated QA Checks for Drawings & Documents

Client Context A major engineering consultancy I worked at struggled with drawing submissions. Their engineers spent late nights preparing technical details, only to have drawings rejected by clients for small administrative errors: wrong revision numbers, incorrect dates, or mismatched file names. Document controllers were tied up in repetitive checks, often becoming bottlenecks. The Challenge The

What I Offer

I help architecture, engineering, and construction firms cut the busywork so they can focus on design, clients, and delivery.

– Reports and logs that generate themselves – hours back every week.

– QA and snagging that doesn’t slip through cracks – fewer costly mistakes.

– No more double entry – update once, it flows everywhere.

– Everyone sees the same, up-to-date drawings and info.

– A simple dashboard that tells you what’s done, what’s late, and what’s missing.

– Less chasing, more knowing.

Professional Edge

– Slick digital processes that impress clients (and win repeat work).

– Audit-ready records without the panic.

– The confidence that nothing’s falling through the cracks.

How

I build lightweight apps and automations that fit into your current tools – no massive IT overhaul, no long training. Just simple fixes that save hours.

A few ways I’ve helped:

  • Automatically generated desk study by pointing a location
  • Automatically find and place digital signatures on drawings
  • Drawing title block checks through machine learning
Select a location on a map and the desk study report, including site information, observations and recommendations is generated.

Why

As a former structural engineer turned software developer, working in engineering consultancies like Atkins and Mott MacDonald, I’ve seen firsthand the inefficiencies plaguing the construction industry.

I specialise in creating user-friendly, automated solutions that streamline processes, reduce manual labour, and boost efficiency.

My apps have been deployed worldwide, benefiting firms of all sizes, generating savings of £100,000s.

Client Cases

Hazard manager

A hazard management tool that seamlessly integrates with industry-standard software like ArcGIS and Revit, providing a centralised hub for risk tracking and collaboration.

By mapping hazards directly onto drawings or 3D models, teams can easily identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks throughout the project lifecycle.

This intuitive tool eliminates the inefficiencies of manual tracking methods, ensuring enhanced safety and efficiency on construction sites.

AI drawing checking

An AI powered drawing checker that streamlines the document review process.

This tool automates the verification of essential details like revision numbers and statuses, eliminating the time-consuming manual checks. By leveraging machine learning, it accurately identifies and flags errors, saving countless hours and reducing project delays.

This solution empowers engineering teams and document controllers to focus on high-value tasks, improving efficiency and reducing costs throughout the project lifecycle.

ProjectWise automation

Automation of the creation of documents in ProjectWise (document and drawing storage environment), using approved document type specific templates and carrying out document naming error checks.

The process eliminates project delays, allowing teams to work on auditable files instantly, maintaining the organisation’s quality processes and reducing errors. The non-coded solution chosen allows teams to independently maintain the solution once deployed.
