Chartered consultancy working with architects and contractors on residential, heritage and light commercial schemes.
We keep to work where the structure is the difficult part.
New build, basements, removals and complex remodels on constrained sites.
Listed fabric, timber repair and interventions that have to be reversible.
Mixed use, mezzanines and change of use where loading is being altered.
What we produce, and what you actually receive.
