He has worked on a diverse range of projects including education, transit, leisure, offices and healthcare in the UK and Europe. He is currently Lead Technologist for Cities and Places.</p> <p dir="ltr">David championed the early adoption of BIM on complex project like the redevelopment of Blackfriars station in 2010. This '600m investment put a new mainline station on an existing bridge over the River Thames as well as reconfiguring the London Underground station, all whilst keeping the network operational.</p> <p dir="ltr">More recently he has been involved in the design and delivery of major projects in the Middle East.'
