Thomas McDougall

Associate Thomas McDougall, in Huddersfield, has been part of our practice since 2012. He plays a key role within our geomatic consultancy team, consistently delivering accurate, detailed and innovative solutions for our clients.

I take pride in helping clients see the full potential of their buildings and sites, providing them with clear, reliable information that makes a real difference to their projects.

With over a decade of experience, Thomas has worked across a wide range of sectors, including conservation and heritage, residential, universities and hospitality. His deep technical knowledge and creative approach have seen him contribute to many complex and large-scale projects, supporting clients from early design stages through to refurbishment and redevelopment.

Thomas has a particular strength in the use of digital surveying techniques, including measured building surveys, topographical surveys, drone surveying and Scan to BIM. His ability to capture, process and translate survey data into highly accurate 3D models ensures that clients have a clear and reliable foundation to inform design decisions, reduce risk and avoid unexpected challenges further down the line.

In addition to his technical expertise, Thomas brings an innovative approach to his work. He is experienced in creating real-time, interactive visualisations using software such as Unreal Engine, giving clients the ability to explore different design options and better understand how their buildings will look and function. His skill in combining technology with a practical understanding of design helps clients to make informed, confident decisions.

Outside of the office, Thomas keeps busy with regular exercise at the gym and his interest in astronomy.
