David's skill set has been developed over many years working in the built heritage sector. Following completion of a traditional three year craft apprenticeship in 1986 he worked as a time served architectural stone carver before forming Stoneworks in 1990. The next 32 years would see Stoneworks build an impressive reputation for quality of service working on high profile heritage projects throughout Scotland and the wider UK. Between 2014 and 2022, David worked for Stirling City Heritage Trust as part of the building inspection team delivering the Traditional Buildings Health Check scheme for Historic Environment Scotland. He also has experience of teaching traditional building skills and stone carving classes for leading Scottish colleges and heritage agencies. David is a qualified associate member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
