Throughout my life I have strived for perfection, precision, and purpose; I aligned my life to be goal

orientated in every way.

Following the completion of my Masters in Architecture degree in 2012, I ventured into studying a

Property Development Master’s degree; this in-turn allowed me to amalgamate my skill-set into a position

that had not been heard of, or even created as yet, that of a professionally registered Development

Architect.

B.I.L as a whole comprises of two key departments namely: Architecture and Interior design; all these

departments work in synergy in order to deliver a wholesome product that has been envisioned by the

Client, understood by the professional team, and executed to perfection by the main contractor of any

property related project that would be professionally handled by the company.

Experience will always be questioned, and every company had to begin with a Director who had so much

belief in their own capabilities that they ventured solo in order to express who they really were; the

formula has never changed and never will.

An opportunity is all one needs in order to have an unapologetic everlasting impact on the world as we

know it; let that impact be with B.I.L in your stable.
