Working with Clients and end-users such as IJM Land, Whitbread, Staycity and West Herts College, we add value to complex commercial projects by providing independent oversight to help ensure the Clients interests are protected. In this article we have set out what a Client Monitoring Architect does, and how Dyer Hampson Wight can help deliver successful project outcomes.

Timothy Roland Hampson (1958 – 2025)

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our founding director Tim Hampson in October 2025. Tim was passionate about design and construction. He made a major contribution to the architectural landscape over his long career and was instrumental in the evolution of Dyer through the years. He had a wide circle of family, friends, colleagues and collaborators and was an inspiration, mentor and friend to many.  We will greatly miss his intellect, insight, sense of humour and, most of all, his all-round good company.

Demolition works start in Westmancote

Demolition works are progressing well at our project in Westmancote. Great to see the knackered old unsympathetic extensions removed to reveal the charm of the original cottage. Looking forward to seeing this one come out of the ground.
