The Team

Design and the process of building have been part of my life since my teenage years.  Work and pleasure have come together, it’s more of a vocational pastime. Reading university provided the most enjoyable and relevant period of study post degree, with continuing learning for staff and myself seen as essential, to learn new ideas and to refresh old skills. People and how they function in and around buildings are of a continuing interest and enjoyment to me.

Darren joined Dolman as a Graduate Building Surveyor in 1996 and became a Partner in 2012.  He has experience in all areas of the business but has a particular interest in the Education sector. Darren has a young family; and enjoys working closely with schools to develop and bring to fruition projects, often with limited funding.

I graduated from Plymouth University in 2010 yet I have been involved in the construction industry from my early years with site work during holidays and was employed by a carpenter, prior to university.

My interest of designing and developing sites to increase Clients’ assets is very rewarding and brings pleasure to me and our Clients.

I became Chartered in 2014 and continue to encourage progression of new skills inside and outside of the business.

Adam joined Dolman in 2014 as an Architectural Assistant, he completed his Architecture Post-Graduate Certificate at UWE and registered as an Architect in April 2018.  He became an Associate with Dolman in October 2020.

His interests lie in working with existing buildings to create new interesting spaces.

After more than 30 years in the construction industry David joined Dolman in 1998. He has experience in most aspects of the business with particular emphasis on cost advice.

Anthony is a registered architect with nearly thirty years experience, ten of them with Dolman.  He has worked on a wide variety of project types, although involvement with historic or listed structures feature prominently.

She enjoys the challenges provided by a wide variety of projects, but is particularly interested in housing, private education establishments, master planning, interiors and landscaping.

My first contact with Dolman was in 2015 when I undertook 2 weeks of work experience. I was intrigued with the diverse range of projects the company was involved in.

I went on to study Architectural Technology at the University of West London, graduating in 2019. I was employed as an Architectural Technologist for Dolman in 2021.

I enjoy seeing concept design being developed into buildable reality and I take an interest in historic building. I aspire to become charted in the early years of my career.
