Tim Floyd Tim Floyd MSc MRICS - Professionally, I started out in civil engineering – surveying for road and pipeline construction. Thoroughly disillusioned, I took a relatively early hiatus, and over a number of years travelled widely throughout Russia, China and SE Asia, regularly visiting the most extraordinary buildings, returning periodically to generate funds through building work in UK and France.

In 1991 I found myself on the roof of one of the temples at the Angkor Wat Complex in Cambodia (long story). Below me, a couple of French surveyors were recording the structure, as the area had recently been made relatively safe and international funding made available for conservation. This was my ‘light bulb’ moment and I subsequently completed a BSc and MSc in Building Conservation Technology and Architectural Materials Science.

I later worked with Brian Ridout at Ridout Associates as a building conservation scientist and surveyor for nearly 7 years. During this time I was lucky enough to work with various high profile buildings, both secular and ecclesiastical and became chartered via the ‘Building surveying research’ pathway at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Whenever I can find the time, I love: to cycle (cotton shirt and shorts, not lycra and lid), to read, to watch films, rugby and South Park on TV and walk our dog Frank the sprocker.
