Can You Really Save Money Managing Your Own Construction Project?

We discuss whether DIY construction project management actually saves money. While it might seem like a good idea, we explain why first-time self-managers might go over budget and time.

This beautiful bungalow renovation in Oswestry is was completed for our good friends, Marek and Ania. The home features an open plan kitchen, diner and living area with a fireplace surround. It has been beautifully decorated making it the perfect family home. What a privilege to take this through from start to finish.

What a privilege it was to redesign the Hope House Hospice Charity Entrance lobby in Oswestry. The build is now complete and there are a few finishing touches to arrive before the open day.

Fantastic interior designing by as always!

If you ever get chance to visit the Hospice to see the work they do, it is incredible.

Thank you for letting us be a part of the journey. Professional photos to follow!!

These are the first images from Stretton Lower Hall. The cottage is now available for short-term holiday letting.

We’ve been incredibly excited to see this one come to life. The owners, Dawn and Kieran, have realised their vision of owning a historic estate, with the main home alongside a beautifully converted cottage and barns for letting. Thank you for trusting us to be part of the journey.

The cottage has been sensitively renovated, including a relocated staircase to improve flow and usability, while respecting the character of the building.

We’re looking forward to seeing the barns completed, which are already well underway.

There’s something special about historic buildings.

We visited Edinburgh for a short city break over the bank holiday.

It got me thinking — why do people visit places like this?
It’s the architecture.

Edinburgh is a great example of different periods of history, all told through its buildings.

I really like the balance of old and new in the city centre. Done well, it shows that variety works — with careful planning.

We work in historic areas across Chester, Wrexham, North Wales and Shropshire, so it’s always good to take inspiration from places like this.

Creative design that blends into a historic setting, while still telling its own story.

A great design is only the beginning!

Knowing that the END RESULT has made such a difference in a family’s life is where the real value is. We love hearing feedback like this.

A family of 5 were feeling like they outgrew their house.

Now the house seems to have more space than they need! A smart design has meant their building didn’t need to be over-extended so they could meet their requirement in budget.

If your family need more space, we’re here for a chat.

Is architecture a luxury?

Let’s debunk the myth!

If you have a limited renovation budget - you can’t afford not to have architectural design. It adds value and limits overspending!

For lower budgets - we do a smaller package where we explore floor plan options for half a day! It may be the best home investment you can make!
