When admitted LRIBA in the mass intake of 20 July 1911 his address was 69 West Regent Street, Glasgow and his house 1 Rochdale Place, Mount Florida. Around the turn of the century he formed a short-lived partnership with Andrew Robertson. Robertson had been born in 1868 and articled to Dykes from 1882 to 1887, remaining as a draughtsman until 1888. In 1888-89 he spent some months wth Peat & Duncan, thereafter becoming assistant and chief draughtsman to Clarke & Bell & R A Bryden to which practice he returned as partner.

After the dissolution of the partnership with Robertson prior to 1906, Dykes took Hugh Dale into partnership. Born in 1872, Dale had been articled to Henry Edward Clifford in 1887 and had remained as an assistant.
