Our Directors

The operation of Burdon Craig Dunne Henry Architects is very much about building relationships with people. What differentiates us from other larger practices is that the director that we introduce to a client at the start of the project will assigned to that project (unless we feel from the outset that an alternative director has skills that would be better suited to the project) and from that point onwards this director will be the client contact and project administrator through the project to completion.

By maintaining a single, consistent point of connection between the client and BCDH throughout the duration of a project the client's requirements can best be effectively managed, meaning that the responsible for delivering the project and coordinating the rest of the design team in addition to the queries and directives of the client can be handled efficiently and with professionalism.

We have included a short bio of the four directors below and links to download the director's resume. If you would like to click on any of the director's photographs you may contact our directors directly.
