Duncan Hogg

As Head of Technical, Duncan leads Bond Bryan’s approach to design work compliance, quality assurance and technical strategy across the practice. His experience spans education, advanced research, blue light, residential, commercial and civic environments — bringing deep insight into highly serviced, regulated and safety-critical projects.

Specialising in the technical aspects of architecture, he advises clients on contract appointments, professional services at both early-stage feasibility work and technical design stage through construction to handover. Duncan’s expertise also includes authoring specifications, acting as Principal Designer for Building Regulations, and guiding clients and stakeholders through complex approval processes. His approach blends clarity, calmness and technical rigour — ensuring that risk management and regulatory responsibilities are embedded throughout every stage of design development.
