Approach
The spirituality of the material, and the honest application of it.
I draw on the arts and crafts movement and its gothic roots. Not the look of it, but the argument underneath: that a material has a nature, and that a detail is honest when it works with that nature rather than disguising it.
In practice this is unglamorous. It means knowing how a lime mortar behaves in February, why a lead flashing fails at that particular junction, and what a bricklayer can actually build on a Tuesday afternoon. I bring the technical discipline of large London projects to a domestic extension, and I do the work myself from the first visit to the final certificate.
How a project runs
Six steps, in the same order, on every project, each with an end point you can see and a fee published in advance.
Modelled before it is built
Every project is modelled in Revit to BIM Level 2. That is unusual at this scale, where much of the work is still drawn in two dimensions. It means fewer surprises on site, fewer variations in the account, and a building you can walk through before it exists. Where it helps, I build a physical model as well.
