Michael Hoare

Michael is an Architect with over 15 years' experience in the construction industry. In his current role he works as a Design Manager for Multiplex, a Tier 1 contractor, on a range of complex and large-scale construction projects.

Michael leads a ‘model-first’ approach to design review on all Multiplex projects across Scotland. The University of Glasgow’s new western campus demonstrates this approach to design and construction, with a strong focus on model coordination between design consultants and specialist subcontractors to resolve complex interface design issues.

Before joining Multiplex, he worked with BAM Construction for 6 years as BIM Lead on a wide range of projects including schools, office buildings and the iconic V&A Museum in Dundee.
