The Practice has specialist knowledge and skills in the repair, conservation and alteration of period buildings and their settings, and a track record of handling difficult planning and listed building issues.

Careful analysis of each project on a multi-disciplinary level is essential to our work.   The efficient management and co-ordination of projects, whether they be large or small, ensures that we give value for money. Projects are completed to programme and within budget and we respond quickly to demanding schedules. We aim to find imaginative solutions to the problems our clients bring us and to enhance their environment either in new surroundings or by sympathetic repair or alteration of existing buildings. The appreciation of materials and craftsmanship is paramount to all we do and we would wish our work to endure and give pleasure for many years. 

We believe that there is often a case for modern design in an historic context and therefore our approach is not always to blend discreetly with the past but where appropriate we incorporate new work in a contemporary idiom. 

The application of innovative technology can also enhance the conservation of our built heritage and we aim to keep abreast of new ideas.   As a result a number of our projects have included state-of-the-art building services and this has become an interest of the Practice.
