Building Conservation forms the bedrock of the Practice.
We have long been supporters of the philosophy of minimum intervention and an informed conservation approach.
This is not always possible, and therefore well considered alternatives have to be debated in depth, and if considered acceptable, adopted.
This is not to say that the Practice is 'highbrow'.
We relish the chance of working with clients and buildings to achieve the optimal result to an agreed budget.
Our advice can relate to a small problem of damp up to severe problems of structural collapse.

This can come in the form of both a totally new design concept or carefully considered conservation proposals working in sympathy with the existing structure.
Our design team is largely in house.
Plans are prepared in conjunction with CAD whilst still maintaining the quality of traditional drawing.
From this, schemes are developed for client approval, statutory submission and tendering procedures.
We pride ourselves in working with our clients to achieve the right design and not imposing designs without consultation.
