A Practice founded on design
excellence and sound
construction knowledge.
In 1992 David Rackham was a Director in one of the UK's largest Architectural
Practice having spent a successful working life in Private Practice in London
and the Home Counties developing sound skills in most building types. Early in
his career he developed an interest in School Building Projects becoming the
responsible Director with an extensive Client base. He left to set up his own
Practice being fortunate that most of his Client base stayed with him creating
an ideal platform for the new Practice.

systems.

opportunities. Philip is heavily involved in Construction Industry Activity
Days, Faculty of Building and the Construction Industry Council Eastern Region.
