Services
Basement Construction
We specialise in creating expansive basement spaces that maximise living areas while enhancing privacy and reducing urban noise. Our expertise includes double-depth basements with luxury features like swimming pools and media rooms. With nearly all projects incorporating basement construction over the past decade, we deliver technically complex solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing structures.
Full House Renovation
Our full house renovations transform unmodernised properties through comprehensive side, rear, and roof extensions. We often retain only facades and party walls while rebuilding internal structures to create contemporary homes with significantly increased living space. This approach combines heritage preservation with modern design requirements.
Contract Management
We provide dual-tier contract management with on-site Contract Managers and overseeing Project Managers. This ensures rigorous control over timelines, costs, and coordination between clients, architects, engineers, and specialist trades throughout the project lifecycle.
Joinery
Our in-house carpentry team creates bespoke timber mouldings, staircases, and high-end kitchens. We maintain long-term partnerships with specialist joiners to ensure exceptional craftsmanship in custom cabinetry and architectural woodwork across all projects.
Follow on Care
We provide comprehensive handover manuals detailing all installations and care requirements. Our commitment extends beyond project completion through ongoing technical support and advice that exceeds standard warranty periods, ensuring long-term client satisfaction.
