Danny Campbell, who judges on Scotland’s Home of the Year, was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct after mishandling the project in Giffnock, Renfrewshire, in 2021.
The Architect Registration Board have probed the matter, and this month ruled Mr Campbell failed to appropriately manage a conflict of interest, and he did not supervise staff adequately.In November 2020 Jonathan Rennie, known as the referrer, wanted to develop a property and following an online search contacted Hoko Design.
At this point the start time had already slipped from September to October 2021, the board said, and Mr Rennie felt under pressure to start as soon as possible so work could be completed by November. At meeting with Mr Campbell in January 2022 at the property, the family realised he ‘could not be acting in his best interests whilst also acting for Hoko Build’.The board found: ‘The impact of the referrer and his family was significant.’
The board found the blunder ‘arose through a mixture of naivety, inexperience and an absence of more experienced figures that might have curtailed obvious enthusiasm’.
