About
The methods change. The responsibility stays with me.
UK electrical design. We make the tools and Revit content we use.
I started as an electrician in 1999 and have worked as an electrical designer since 2012. Since 2022 I have run PROJECT DESIGN (IO) LTD (PD).
“Having and applying critical thinking is very important ... But that is not enough, we actually need 'adaptive critical thinkers' who don't limit themselves to prior analysis modes, and accepts that the world has changed / will continue to change, then reflect and act accordingly”
On critical thinking
I moved from site to the design office, from drawings to Building Information Modelling (BIM), then to information management under BS EN ISO 19650. I now produce the tools and Revit content.
How I work
01
Sign-off and calculations
I take technical responsibility for my designs, sign them off and verify every calculation for them. Under another organisation's appointment, contractual approval follows its terms. Others' calculations are reference only.
02
Tools from project work
I develop the tools and Revit content from my design work on projects. The Tools page states each tool's version and the standards and paragraphs it is based on.
03
How the tools are built
Artificial intelligence helps build the tools. Before each release goes live, automated checks compare the tool's results with independent calculations or rules from the standards, and the release is reviewed.
