David returned to Wagga Wagga in 2018 and teamed up with Peter Kennard Consulting Engineers to further grow an already established consulting office. He brings a wealth of experience and new design strategies after spending 5 years working in London on some famous heritage listed buildings (Somerset House and Trocadero), extravagant homes and an award winning gallery Tate St Ives, Cornwall (RIBA National Award and RIBA Sterling Prize Shortlist).

​

David worked closely with Sam Price of Price & Myers, to design stone, precast concrete and timber cantilever staircases. This is a technique not well known in Australia and he would like to incorporate these elegant designs into building designs across the region.

​

David graduated in 2011 on scholarship with the Roads and Traffic Authority in Australia. He joined Peter Kennard in Wagga Wagga at Hughes Trueman & Mott MacDonald as an undergraduate in 2009, before joining them again full-time in 2011. David worked on a number of residential developments in the area, as well as commercial projects such as:

• De Bortoli solar upgrades

• Walnut processing facilities

• TransGrid transmission tower assessments
