The Building Safety Act & Luxury Property Development: What we’ve learned so far
It's been over a year since the Building Safety Act came into force, bringing sweeping changes for the construction sector. Andrew Paulson reflects on its impact on the industry - and his firm's processes, projects & clients.
Andrew has been a partner of LA London for since 2011 and in his 20+ years with the practice has overseen a wide range of prime residential projects, both in London and further afield. He always takes a leading role in projects; his approach is focused on delivering the optimum result for the client, which he recognises ultimately stems from clear communication and building and maintaining strong and successful relationships across the project team, built on earned trust. Clients appreciate his thorough, precise and disciplined nature. Andrew has a proven track record of successfully designing and delivering an array of prime and super-prime residential projects, both as Design and Executive Architect.
