A bit about our founder

- Site manager
- Contract Manager
- Building Surveyor
- Manager/Owner of Commercial Interiors firm
Whilst doing the above, he moved to Maidenhead with his wife to start a family and somehow found time to study and gain a Building Surveying Honours Degree at The University of Reading.

Wouter currently manages Maidenhead Planning as a Building Surveyor and Architectural Designer, in addition to undertaking property development and project management roles.
Importantly, he has worked on all three sides of the project:
