Episode 1️⃣0️⃣ Build Series. We’re Moving on Up!

In this episode, I talk about how important it is to establish the final design because this influences the work at the beginning of a construction project ie drains! And why changing things during build is costly.

My advice is always to get professional advice and don’t leave your kitchens and bathroom design and layout until the last minute!!

Using a combination of AI render simulations to show a client a visual of their Utility-Boot Room for an extension project to a C17 Listed Farmhouse in South Gloucestershire boasting a beautiful garden and so an island for flower arranging was essential! …. AI is a great tool, if you can’t beat it, join it! …. Thanks to .ai, Nano Banana and our in-house Photoshop skills to produce an accurate representation. ❤️ ⬇️ if you like! 👍🏻

Episode 9️⃣ Build Series - We’re above DPC! Which is a huge relief, and we got here without any major additional costs. This is down to pre-investigations, detail design and thorough pre-planning.

The main services have been reconnected, water, gas, electrics and telephone master socket has been relocated. And the concrete slab poured to create a level surface to work off.

The space is really coming together and progress will be huge over the next couple of weeks with first floor and roofs starting!

I promise to share a more regular update now we’re moving up!

Thank you for watching and following!

"God is in the Details" quoted by famous Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a renowned Architect and Director of The Bauhaus School of Architecture in Dessau / Berlin, it's final director before it's closure in 1933.

It's these little moments that encompass successful architecture. Like walking through your front door and experiencing light, views and an array of Materiality, all in one moment!

9️⃣ Build Series - It feels like we’ve made huge progress this week with the steels going in! 🏗️ It’s great to be able to visualise the design concept; and slightly nervous making sure the design intent has been delivered on site! But we’re really pleased with progress and hope you enjoy seeing the updates.

Site Meeting to sign off the doors and windows in Cheltenham on a beautiful sunny day! The stone really glows when the sun hits it and it will just get better when the glazing and render is completed.

The beauty of this extension is the volume of space, coupled with 2.5m height doors at the end of the extension, the garden is visible from the front door as you step down through the Georgian hallway, through the bar and into the kitchen.

8️⃣ Build Series _ Great to see so much development this week! Levelling, Drains, Openings & Blocking Up! 🧱🪏 we can start to get a feel for the spaces and how they’re going to connect to each other.

Things are progressing at a pace now and next week we’re expecting delivery of the steels, walls up to DPC and by the end of the week we should start seeing the extension as a volume!

7️⃣ This episode shows the lack of progress; which is common in construction projects where you have a small smaller Contractor. But if your Contractor has remained in constant contact and you can see materials being delivered then you can be reassured that they will be coming back!

⛔️ Warning signs: Do not pay any invoices issued by your Contractor in advance of work being completed or materials being delivered; unless you have a very tight contract and have agreed this in advance with your Contractor such as where a deposit is required.

we’ve spent this time to collect our sample materials which is a great use of time to ensure you and your client/partner are on the same thought process in terms of finishes and aesthetics.

We hope they’ll be more progress 7️⃣to show you in the next episode!
