✨ From Damp Basement to Dream Business Hub! ✨

Take a look at just one of our value injecting transformations: a challenging, underutilised basement in the heart of Westbourne, Bournemouth, converted into a stunning, modern commercial unit!

At Set Square Studio Ltd, we love a good challenge! This project pushed our design and build expertise, overcoming significant hurdles like:

Poor Access: Navigating a busy urban street to get materials in and out.

Pervasive Damp: Installing a bespoke Type C cavity drain membrane tanking system and a powerful sump pump to ensure a permanently dry space.

Complete Fit-Out: Designing and building a brand new kitchenette, modern toilet facilities, and crucial pavement-level access to connect the unit directly to Westbourne's vibrant high street.

The result? A bright, functional, and highly desirable commercial space ready for business!

Got an underutilised commercial property or basement in Bournemouth, Poole, or Dorset? Don't let valuable space go to waste! Let Set Square Studio Ltd help you unlock its full potential.

From House to Home Run: Quadrupling Value in Queen's Park!
Got a property that’s bursting with potential but choked by red tape?

We're Setsquare Studio Ltd, and we don't just design buildings—we solve problems. Our latest triumph in the sought-after Queen's Park area of Bournemouth, right near the golf course, proves it.

The Challenge: Transform a single dwelling into four highly desirable, self-contained 1 & 2 bedroom residential units. Sounds straightforward? Not when you factor in:

🔒 Conservation Area constraints.

🌳 Complex Arboricultural and Ecology requirements and mitigation.

🚗 Tricky main road access and crucial neighbour consideration during construction.

🌊 The dreaded Surface Water Management & Attenuation riddle.

The Victory: We didn't just meet the planning hurdles; we vaulted them! Our integrated design and build expertise navigated every restriction—from protecting local ecology to implementing ingenious drainage solutions—to secure a flawless planning approval and execute a smooth build.

The Result: Four stunning, successful flats. Delighted clients. Quadrupled property value and rental income potential.

Stop dreaming about profit and start building it. If your next project demands expert architectural vision, seamless project management, and a team that thrives on complex challenges, you need to talk to Setsquare Studio.

🚫 Pavement Paralysis? We just secured a Pavement Licence for another Bournemouth client! 🥂

Turning public space into prime, profitable patio space is complex. Navigating BCP Council’s strict rules on pedestrian clearways, noise, and liability can kill your outdoor dining dream before it even starts.

For our client, their initial plans hit a wall. Our move? We skipped the bureaucracy and went straight to strategy:

✅ Proactive Flow Analysis: Proved our design was safer than the blank pavement.
✅ Negotiated Clearway: Maxed out seating capacity without compromise.
✅ Seamless 28-Day Grant: Zero delays. Immediate revenue.

Stop letting red tape block your business growth. We know the BCP rules and we know how to negotiate. Let us handle the licence burden so you can focus on serving customers!

We are delighted to be working with Helping Homeless Veterans UK on this fantastic project in Winton, Bournemouth.

Helping Homeless Veterans-UK was formed as a CIC Not For Profit on the 15th of September 2019. Our founder Mr David Wood has over 5 years of experience of housing Veterans using legislation and working closely with local authorities as well as private landlords. To date, David has helped and assisted over 280 Veterans during this period of time and has been recognised locally with The High Sheriff of Dorset award in 2018 as well as The Bournemouth Echo Volunteer of the year award in 2017. In 2019 David was recognised nationally when he was presented with The British Citizen Award for his Voluntary work which was presented at The Palace of Westminster.

Helping Homeless Veterans UK work very closely with over 80 Local Authorities and Councils throughout the country and we have found that due to a serious lack of affordable temporary accommodation we have to use our own funds to pay the high costs of using hotels and B&Bs.

We have helped and assisted 9 Veterans who were either Street Homeless or Sofa Surfing in the BCP area over the last 14months and seven of them have had to be placed in hotels at our expense due to them not coping in a hostel environment.

We also know that there are many Veterans in the BCP area who are classed as Sofa Surfing or living in temporary accommodation and what we are proposing with the RBL Conversion is to take them out of that situation and place them in our programme so that we can engage with them to deal with any issues they may have using our network of professional charities and organisations.

accommodation which we can assist with by offering financial support as well as furniture and fittings.
We also have a network of companies that work closely with ourselves who can provide employment for Veterans and we can provide assistance with training courses if required to help integrate the Veteran back into society.
We are not providing Supported Accommodation and there will be assessments carried out by ourselves before a veteran moves in to our property and if they are not suitable then they will be signposted to agencies who can assist.
We have already helped and assisted 91 veterans into their own accommodation and 100% of all funds raised or donated go directly towards us Housing our Countries Homeless Veterans.
Below you will find some links to show the scale of the problem on a nationwide level and why we believe and we know that this conversion is desperately needed.
