The brief

A house for a family who wanted one team from the first sketch to the last handle. The brief keeps developing as the design does, which is normal for a house and awkward for a contract.

What we did

  1. Priced the design as it grew

    Cost is updated at every stage rather than at tender. The family always knows what a change is worth before they ask for it.

  2. Held the structure early

    The frame and the service routes were fixed before finishes were discussed, which keeps later changes cosmetic.

  3. Sampled on site

    Stone, plaster and joinery are approved in place under the building's own light rather than in a showroom.

Measured at handover

What held.

Three numbers the client agreed at the start, and the three we settled on at the end.
