The Professional Conduct Committee found Dow guilty of breaching multiple standards, citing "stress, inconvenience, and significant financial loss" for the clients, ultimately resulting in his removal from practice.
Mr Dow proposed a timber and steel extension on stilts and agreed to manage design, planning, and construction oversight, but failed to carry out these responsibilities adequately.
After initial planning and building permits were obtained, issues arose during construction, including only one early site visit and missed critical inspections.
The architect had not informed the Council about the build's start or submitted required compliance updates, leaving the Burstons confused about their own responsibilities.
