Luke Anderson joined the Whitecode team in 2014 when he was tasked to establish a South African CAD office to provide additional CAD support to Whitecode Consulting. What started out as a small operation has steadily grown to a compliment of 11 staff, thanks to his careful planning and staff resourcing.

Luke obtained a degree in Architecture at the University of Free State in South Africa in 1998 before moving to the UK where he worked for two prominent home builders spanning more than a decade during which time he was introduced to Whitecode Design Associates as early as 2004. He returned to South Africa in 2011 to start a family and during this time he did consultancy work for the UK and extensive project management locally before being approached by WDA. His time in the UK has contributed to the success of the South African office which now additionally services external clients in the form of working drawings for M&E contractors, architectural drawings and more.

In his spare time Luke enjoys spending time with his family and the odd round of golf.

Elliot joined Whitecode in 2015 as part of Whitecode’s trainee scheme, having always been interested in all forms of engineering for as long as he can remember. He graduated from the City of Westminster College in 2017 with an HNC in Building Services Engineering and completed his Honours Degree at London Southbank University in 2021.

With a small team under him, Elliot leads projects from a mechanical standpoint from planning to construction stage. With projects ranging from relatively small retirement homes and assisted living complexes to substantial mixed-use projects consisting of 1,000+ residential units, commercial units and towers over 40 storeys high. These include a variety of building services systems including district heating networks, CHP, renewable energy systems and air conditioning systems.

Sam joined Whitecode in 2016, as part of Whitecode’s trainee engineer scheme, Sam has developed a technical knowledge for all mechanical systems and has excellent client relations skills, which helps him understand the client’s needs and streamlines the construction process. Sam gained a first class BEng Hons Degree from London South Bank University in March 2023.

Originally working beneath and alongside experienced engineers, Sam has now had multiple years of leading a wide range of schemes, which include the residential, commercial and education sectors, where multiple packages have been completed for developers, contractors & subcontractors.

This has allowed for a broad spectrum of design knowledge, aswell as the ability to identify the needs during stages 3 through to handover. With a passion for detailed mechanical design and an emphasis on sustainable yet cost effective mechanical & public-health design, he will endeavour to assist in creating a highly efficient building, whilst ensuring the design is value-engineered and meets client requirements.

Peter joined Whitecode in 2016 as a CAD technician, after a couple of years he transitioned into the Revit technician roles, which is where his passion for design really began.

Peter’s drive to further both his knowledge and the company’s Revit capabilities led to him becoming the BIM team manager in 2022 and now manages a large team in both the UK and South Africa.

Since then he has completed the BRE Academy BIM ISO 19650:BIM essentials and Delivery Information Management courses which has further increased his knowledge.

Jack joined Whitecode in 2020, as part of the apprenticeship scheme. He has since gained his HNC qualification and is now studying for his BEng Hons Degree at London South Bank University.

Jack knew he had a passion for electrical design and didn’t take long to get into it, now leading a number of projects. He finds drawings and calculations interesting and the projects that Whitecode work on have always been cool to Jack (especially walking past a building and being able to say "oh I did that").

Will joined Whitecode in 2017, as a sixth form leaver as part of Whitecode’s trainee scheme. During this time Will has graduated from London Southbank University in 2020 with a HND in building services engineering and gained a first class BEng Hons Degree from London South Bank University in March 2023. 

Working on several large scale district heating schemes during his time at Whitecode, Will has developed both the knowledge and experience towards designing and delivering efficient heating systems. Initially working directly for experienced engineers, Will has developed his technical knowledge within the mechanical and public health fields to identify and deliver against client requirements from stages 2 through to handover on residential schemes of all scales and complexities.

James joined Whitecode in 2016 and, since then, has progressed into the role of Vertical Transport Consultant.

James is an expert in this field, with extensive knowledge of transportation in buildings, including expert guidance on strategies, lift capacities and velocities for a wide range of developments.
