Services
Each building and site are different and the proposed development, significance and any harm, need to be assessed and balanced in accordance with the national and local planning policy and the legal framework.
If you already have an agent we can work together with them or your team of contractors, architects and surveyors. We will assist to address your specific needs providing sympathetic and cost effect solutions for works to traditional buildings and development in historic settings, through design, conservation, repair and creative reuse.
