Designing & planning your construction project

From local knowledge of building regulations and law through to the specification of materials, construction know-how is a must. We work with a network of specialist design and architectural partners offering a full design capability, from structural engineering to interior decorating. Alternatively, we are also happy to work with your preferred design teams and consultants, should you require it.

New ownership of a property
Many of our clients contact us as they have recently purchased a property in the area and are in-need of our property management services. Not only can we take on the administrative and maintenance tasks that this exciting procedure demands, we can also help fine tune the property, from small repairs and maintenance, to full refurbishment. This offers the perfect opportunity for you to get to know your property, and how we work.
