Main work areas include conservation management plans, assessment of historic sites, conservation and redevelopment proposals, and negotiation with statutory authorities. A major aspect of this is also advising on sources of grant assistance. The principal of the practice, Peter Drummond, is a chartered architect with over 20 years experience in the heritage sector. After training at Historic Scotland, Peter moved to leading Scottish conservation practice ARP Lorimer and Associates, and from 2004 to 2007 headed Austin-Smith:Lord’s specialist pan-practice conservation unit. He is accredited in conservation at the highest levels of the RIAS, RIBA, and AABC schemes and is Past National Chairman of the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland. Working with Peter is a team with over 50 years of experience across the construction sector, including archaeological and archival specialist advice. Malcolm Hay, formerly the principal of Darley Hay Partnership, joined the practice in 2011 providing advice to a range of clients in the leisure sector on projects ranging from a £1.5m swimming pool to major extensions to existing holiday parks across Scotland. Niall Murphy, previously an associate at Austin-Smith: Lord, has brought his conservation experience to bear on many of our most complex projects as well as bringing his extensive knowledge of social housing work to the practice. In 2014 we were joined at associate level by Alastair Campbell, with a background in private sector housing and commercial development.
