How we work

Your design, built the way you drew it.

As your building contractor, we build from your drawings and look after your client as if they were our own. Bring us in early and we will tell you how it goes together, what it costs and where the risks are.

01 / On site

Design intent

Preserved, from the first query to the last snag. The details that make the scheme are the ones we protect.

Send us a set of drawings

  • Junctions built as drawn
  • Samples and mock-ups agreed first
  • No substitutions without sign-off

Built to spec

What is on the drawing is what gets built. Dimensions, levels and junctions are checked as the work goes up, not after.

Ask how we check on site

  • Set out from your drawings
  • Checked at every stage
  • Materials as specified

Gaps in drawings

Filled before they reach site. Where a junction is not detailed, we propose one that fits the design and send it to you first.

Ask about a missing detail

  • Queries logged and tracked
  • Sketch details proposed
  • Nothing built on a guess

02 / Drawing to reality

From drawing to reality

Drag the line. What is on the drawing is what gets built.

03 / Before work starts

A partner in the design

Three ways we help while the design is still moving. Each has examples.See the programme and cost report we keep on larger schemes

Feasibility

Before the design is fixed, we look at the site, the access and the budget, and tell you plainly what it will take to build.

What you get

  • A site and local area review
  • Your design checked against the site
  • The main risks for your project
  • A realistic programme

Ask about a feasibility review

  • Construction drawings on a desk marked up in red, with a scale rule and a laptop
  • Aerial view of a housing development part-way through construction
  • Steel frame of a two-storey building standing on its slab

    • Changes signed off by you
  3. Finished bedroom suite with a seating area and tall windows on two sides
