All projects start with creating a detailed brief and a scan of the project areas, from which a 3D CAD model is created. We can then add and remove elements to create the new design and present it to you using photo realistic renders and Virtual Reality walk-throughs using the latest headset technology in your own home.
We work with clients on projects from one room to whole houses, and specialise in multi-functional spaces and problem areas. We use houses differently than how they were originally laid out so getting to know you and how you live means we can tailor our solutions to you.
Builders quotes will only be as accurate as the information they are given. So We produce the service drawings for them to quote form. These include positions for power supplies and their ratings, all plumbing details as well as lighting, cabinetry and structural details so that all trades can work together efficiently. To achieve this we need to work through all these details with our clients first and this ensures they don’t get asked to make on the spot decisions on site without considering the bigger picture.
We can source everything from builders and architects to cabinetry, flooring and finishes.
Being involved throughout the build is essential if all the details sweated over in the earlier stages are going to make it successfully into the final build.
There are often unexpected issues to address along the way, so with a detailed knowledge of the design and the reasons behind it, we can often work out solutions with the tradespeople and without the client needing to be inconvenienced at all.
Although often the most time intensive stage of the project, it limits the stress for the clients by keeping them informed, the project on schedule and budget, and finished to the high standards we all expect.
Dave has carried out two important projects for the Vineyard Life Church in Richmond on Thames. Our building dates from 1830 and is in a conservation area, so any work undertaken is complex. He project managed step free access into the premises at the same time as a comprehensive refurbishment programme was undertaken. The finished work received an award from the Richmond Society in 2021 for 'the conversion of the interior to provide modern facilities for a pre prep school and community services'. www.richmondsociety.org.uk/annual awards/ He also project managed the replacement of the windows on the ground floor in 2023 with suitably designed new windows, appropriate to the old building but for the c21st. He is to be highly recommended. I am a trustee of the church and with my fellow trustees we commissioned him for these two important,varied, pieces of work.Peter Flower2023-12-21David helped us with our kitchen and dressing room design and project managed our renovation from beginning to end. He listened to what we needed and came up with a very practical and useable solution. He was detail focused and we can’t recommend his services highly enough.Sarah Feltham2023-12-21David created a fantastic design for my kitchen, conscious to my needs as a wheelchair user struggling to reach high shelves and cook while sitting. The new kitchen has been truly life changing as it has allowed me to reach food and supplies and sit under the counter to prepare food. David was hands-on during the installation and with aftercare. Can’t recommend him highly enough!Amy Feltham2023-12-21
