Domestic construction and management consultancy, delivered separately or together.
We build houses from the ground up, taking the work from groundworks and foundations through structure, roof and weatherproofing to the internal finishes.
Before work starts we agree the drawings, the specification and the programme with you, so that everyone knows what is being built and in what order.
During the build you have one point of contact who keeps you up to date on progress, cost and any decisions that need your input.
A well-planned extension adds the space you need without the cost and upheaval of moving. We build single-storey and two-storey extensions to the side or rear of the house.
We take care over how the new work meets the old: matching brickwork and roof lines outside, and levels, openings and finishes inside.
Most extensions are built while the family is still living in the house, so we plan the sequence to keep disruption, dust and loss of services to a minimum.
Lofts and garages are often the least used parts of a home. Converting them can provide a bedroom, an office or a living space within the walls you already own.
A conversion involves structure, insulation, fire safety, stairs and ventilation. We plan these together so the finished room is comfortable and meets building regulations.
We explain at the outset what is realistic for your property, including head height, access and natural light, before you commit to the work.
We refurbish and alter existing homes, from updating a single room to stripping a property back and rebuilding the interior.
Older buildings can hide problems with damp, wiring, plumbing or structure. We look for these early and tell you what we find, so that surprises are dealt with before they become expensive.
The work can include new kitchens and bathrooms, layout changes, plastering, joinery, flooring and decoration, coordinated as one programme.
Good projects start on paper. We help you turn an idea into a defined scope of work that contractors can price and build from.
We prepare a programme that sets out the order of the work, how long each stage should take and which decisions are needed by when.
A clear plan makes quotations easier to compare and reduces the changes, delays and disputes that come from an unclear brief.
We review budgets and quotations so you can see what is included, what is excluded and where the risks to your budget lie.
When you are choosing contractors or suppliers, we help you compare like with like and ask the right questions before you sign.
During the work we can check requests for payment and the cost of variations against what was agreed, so that spending stays under control.
We act on your behalf to keep a project moving, coordinating the trades, suppliers and consultants involved.
We monitor progress against the programme, visit the site and report to you in plain language on what has been done and what comes next.
When problems arise we set out the options and their cost and time implications, so you can make decisions with the facts in front of you.
We advise small businesses that want to work in a more organised way, particularly those in construction and related trades.
We look at how work is won, planned, delivered and invoiced, and identify where time and money are being lost.
Our recommendations are practical and proportionate: simple processes, clear responsibilities and changes your team can actually put in place.
A conversation and a site visit to understand what you need.
A written scope, programme and price for you to review.
Work on site, or advice delivered, with regular progress updates.
A final walk-through, snagging and the documents you need to keep.
Describe the job and we will point you in the right direction.
