Professional authorship
Built from real surveying and design practice
Created by Mark Tutton BSc (Hons) MSc MRPSA ACABE — a practising building surveyor and architectural designer. Mark holds a BSc (Hons) in Architectural Design & Technology and is MRPSA and ACABE. He also holds an MSc in Surveying (Building Surveying), awarded with Commendation by Northumbria University.
As a result, the tools draw on a technical background spanning residential surveying, building defects, existing construction and architectural design.
However, Hunter Ellis does not claim endorsement by RICS, RPSA, CABE or another professional body through these products. Qualifications and memberships identify the author’s technical background rather than third-party approval of the products.

Live-project control
