Hot on the heels of the recent news about three senior appointments, Harwood Building Control is also pleased to welcome Adam Dodd BSc (Hons) MRICS C.Build E MCABE as Operations Director, further enhancing the company’s commercial building control capabilities.
Adam joins Harwood from Sweco – formerly MLM Group – where he worked for the previous 17 years. As a Chartered Building Control Surveyor and Fire Risk Assessor, Adam is accustomed to working on both small and large multi-million-pound commercial schemes, diligently supporting clients through the project’s lifecycle. Adam’s extensive commercial experience and expertise will be a valuable addition to the Harwood team as the firm expands in this market.

Adam comments: “I am thrilled to have joined Harwood and I’m looking forward to being at the forefront of the continued growth of the company. As private building control inspectors, we have to be responsive to our client’s needs and knowledgeable about the latest legislative changes. Harwood has established a great reputation for explaining the impacts to clients as changes are implemented, and guiding them as required throughout a project to ensure compliance. I am delighted that, as Operations Director, I will be building upon this already premium service. The company has strong values regarding the way the team works and how the business is run and I’m proud to be part of Harwood at this exciting time.”
David Woodward, CEO at Harwood, adds: “Adam is incredibly well-respected in the industry, and he is a fantastic addition to our team. The seamless functioning of the team is vital to client satisfaction and, as Operations Director, Adam will have his finger on the pulse to ensure that as we continue to grow, existing and new clients receive the highest possible level of support and service. I know that supporting young surveyors is something very close to Adam’s heart, and I’m looking forward to him strengthening the graduate training scheme at Harwood, helping us to recruit and retain the very best talent.”
