His responsibilities cover everything from the extensive refurbishment of listed office buildings to the ongoing repair and conservation of the Grade I listed Palace of Westminster, the crown jewel at the heart of the Estate. Over the past decade, Rory and his teams’ in-depth understanding of the unique challenges posed by working on this iconic building, directly led to our role as structural engineers on the Palace of Westminster’s Restoration and Renewal Programme, which will be the biggest refurbishment project of a listed building ever undertaken in the UK.
