It was lovely to have a cuppa with this client last week and hear all about their build experience. Getting feedback on what went well and what didn't, helps ensure we carry those learnings on to our next projects. Whilst things took a little longer than anticipated through the Planning stage, our technical construction drawings gave the builders all they needed to be able to accurately price and deliver the work.

Do you need a plant room? Quite possibly, there's a lot of kit that goes into a home so it's a good idea to provision some space to house all the kit that keeps your home running.

This week we've been mostly redecorating the lobby and meeting room... We're looking forward to showing off our "new space" to clients soon!

We like to check the labels on site to check that the materials are the same as what's been specified... It's important to understand that building design works as a whole, and that simply meeting a particular u-value on one element might not cut it, if the design is for a higher spec to compensate heat losses elsewhere. If you or your builder want to change the spec, ask first! Or risk being liable for the "new design" you've now undertaken...

Last week's excitement has included reviewing obstructions that may get in the way of installing flood barriers... Have you ever looked at all the random pipes and cables that come in and out of your house? How many are obsolete but still hanging around?

Last week I visited this extension project, and it's really coming together with the external render and cladding now installed. Some bits and pieces are still complete but it's looking great! Next up, the inside, where the plastering, flooring, kitchen are soon to be underway.

It wasn't the easiest ride through Planning, who questioned why we had this shape for the roof, but with the glimpse of sky view and sun coming through to the inside, I'm glad we stood up for the design as it is and I can't wait to see it all completed in a few months time.
