Andy Paddock

Senior Building Surveyor

Andy has been working in the Construction and Real Estate sector for some 20 years.  He has worked in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore during that time.

He left the UK after completing his Building Surveying degree at the University of Greenwich to work in the dynamic and fast moving property and construction sector in Hong Kong prior to the handover of the Territory in 1997, before finally leaving to move to Singapore in 2001.

Whilst in Hong Kong Andy worked for Hyder Consulting mainly in their Civil & Structural Division as a Project Management Assistant where he gained experience of large-scale civil projects and was an integral part of the ISO 9000 Quality Management System Implementation Team.

After leaving Hyder Andy moved to Vigers (Hong Kong) Ltd, which is a regional multi-disciplined property and real estate consulting company based in Hong Kong.  His first instruction with Vigers was based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia undertaking Pre-construction Condition Surveys for the 30km (5 km underground) PUTRA metro line.

During the remainder of his tenure with Vigers, Andy was involved in a wide and diverse spectrum of projects including traditional Building Surveying instructions, interior fit out project management, Strategic Maintenance Management studies and the implementation and use of bespoke Survey Management and large scale data collection software.

Andy was then seconded to Singapore in early 2001 to assist with the change in management structure of the Vigers Singapore offices, during which time he was responsible for its Building Surveying activities.

After leaving Vigers he joined a Singapore based interior contracting company, gaining further experience in Commercial fit out works.

Andy has now been with Bruce James Building Surveyors Pte Ltd since late 2004 and is currently involved in all aspects of works undertaken by the company.

Andy has also recently completed (December 2005) a course of study to obtain a MBA in Construction & Real Estate and Post Graduate Diploma in Project Management.
