Finding a Builder
Realising Your Vision
We've got you covered. From an initial meeting and informal advice to make sure we're the right fit for you, through sketch designs and then navigating through the complexities of planning approval.
Once you've got your Approval in place, we put together the right team for your project, helping to pair with the right builder to carry out your project and preparing high quality technical information to make sure the project goes smoothly.
We help with all the further approvals and working with Building Control, warranty providers and any other specialists to resolve any issues, quietly and calmly. Most times, we've been here before and can work together to find a clear route through to a successful resolution and an amazing completed project.
We Are Specialists In
Expertise in housing, urban design, and sustainable construction methods for innovative projects across the UK.
Designing Homes
We have over 20 years of experience in designing homes for just about every Client and situation. We have helped self-builders, custom builders, small and large developers, Housing Associations and charities achieve their visions with designs tailored to their site and budgets. For every one finding ways to build in special moments to capture views, cosy nooks or dramatic spaces that lift your spirits.
Sustainable Construction & Healthy Buildings
We have been researching and using a wide range of sustainable and innovative construction methods for many years. This includes timber frame, SIPs panels, ICF (insulating concrete formwork), clay blocks and LGSF (light gauge steel framing). All of these come with their pro's and cons and we can find the best solution for your project.
We also try to use materials that are less toxic, both to the environment as a whole when they are manufactured and disposed of, but also, really crucially, to you when you are living and breathing in these new spaces. Thinking carefully about materials early on can make a real difference.
We have been helping charities and community organisations to achieve their visions for many years. These can be particularly complex projects to deliver, with tight timescales, varied and extensive stakeholders and complex briefs that often need to stretch the spaces to cover many different uses. All underpinned by a need to make, sometimes shifting, funding pots go as far as possible.
Community Projects & Urban Design
We also relish a challenge, whether it is a really tricky site with difficult planning hurdles or specialist housing for later life or special needs, we have the deep design and technical experience needed to get it right for you and create an amazing home.
We also work at larger scales with expertise in Urban Design and Masterplanning. This is built on a history of larger sites requiring Design Codes, Urban Design guides or balancing the complexities of phased delivery of mixed-use schemes.
