Matthew Hoad

Technical Design Leader

Matt has been in practice for over 13 years and joined the HTA Technical Design Discipline in February 2010. His background in zero carbon design at Michael Hopkins and Partners and Zedfactory bring a broad range of expertise to the team with a specialist knowledge of housing system design and building product innovation. With published articles on sustainable construction in journals and lecturing at Kingston University he has developed a first hand practical understanding of construction technology in collaboration with industry. He was responsible for developing the Ruralzed housing system launched at Ecobuild 2008 which was subsequently the first commercially built Code Level 6 project. The development of new innovation required IP and patent registration for zero carbon products and this is an area of expanding interest which is being developing at HTA.

He is responsible for technical development and design on a range of in-house HTA projects and provides zero carbon construction advice to manufacturers and developers as part of the Technical Design discipline service. Matt has trained in the use of advanced 3D BIM modeling, so that rapid visual and technical solutions for building systems and components can be digitally prototyped as an extension to traditional building technology consultancy.
