Mr. Pickavance studied architecture at Brighton and was admitted as an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1970. In 1972 he became a partner in his first practice. After reading for an honours degree in law at the University of London, Mr. Pickavance set up his own multi-disciplinary practice in partnership with his brother, a quantity surveyor. His practice turned to computers in 1982; and as a result of development work carried out by the practice in computer programs for the construction industry, he developed a suite of management software for architects. His experience over the following 21 years produced an unusual mixture of experience in construction management, design and build, and traditional methods of contracting which, when combined with his studies in law and computers and the integrated multi-disciplinary practice, produced an abundance of experience in construction management and the problems of analysis of delay and disruption.

Mr Pickavance’s honorary appointments include membership of the drafting committee of the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol and the CIOB time management working group. He is currently President of the Chartered Institute of building.
