Matthew Hitches

Having lived in and around Tenby since childhood, I am thoroughly familiar with the Pembrokeshire area and its people.  From 1995 until 2001, I worked for a reputable Pembrokeshire architect, where I did my training and obtained a HNC in Building Studies and developed a keen eye for good architectural design.  

From 2001 until 2011, I was appointed as project manager of a local house-building company where my work was varied and included:-

​

   -    Design and production of all drawings for Planning, Building                    Regs,
 road & drainage layouts
   -    On site supervision of construction.

   -   Liaising with site utility companies, sub-contractors, engineers                  and
 other professionals.

   -   Topographical land surveys using total station.

   -   Setting out works for plot boundaries, drainage, roads,                              foundations
 etc.
  
   -    Quantifying and purchasing materials from suppliers.
  
   -    Checking quality of materials and workmanship.
  
   -    Assisting with the general management of the company.

I believe this experience as a project manager has given me excellent on-site experience and a real insight into the realities of construction work.  One could spend years studying building methods and architecture, but not necessarily understand how things are done in practice.

​

From 2011 onwards I have been working as a freelance architectural designer.  My work is covered by Professional Indemnity insurance and I undertake projects mainly around Tenby, Kilgetty and Narberth, but I am happy to consider projects throughout Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.  For a professional architectural service at sensible rates contact Matthew Hitches today.
