How it works

A managed process, from first question to handover.

One team, one point of contact, and a sequence designed so the expensive decisions come after the important information.

Most problems in this market are sequencing problems: a design is agreed before the site is understood, or a specification is fixed before the regulatory route is settled. We work the other way around.

The process

Seven stages.

01

Site qualification

You send us your property type, garden dimensions, access, existing structures and intended use. We come back with an honest read on what is realistic — including which product fits, and where the constraints are.

02

Consultation

A conversation about the brief. How you want to use the space, what the house needs, what matters most and what you would trade away.

03

Site survey

A visit to measure, check levels, assess access properly and confirm the position against boundaries, drainage and existing structures.

04

Design

Layout, orientation, glazing, materials and the servicing strategy, developed together. You see the space before anything is committed.

05

Regulatory route

We confirm the applicable planning and Building Regulations position for your project, and manage what that requires. Where a written legal or planning opinion is warranted, we will say so.

06

Manufacture & groundworks

The structure is manufactured while the site is prepared — foundations, services and access — so the two run in parallel rather than in sequence.

07

Installation & handover

Installation, fit-out, commissioning of the heating, ventilation and lighting systems, and a handover that includes showing you how the controls actually work.

Programme. Lead times and programme durations will be published here once our operational model is confirmed. We would rather say nothing than quote a figure we cannot stand over.
What you can expect

Clear answers, in the right order.

One point of contact

The same person through design, regulation and delivery.

Decisions in sequence

Site first, then design, then specification. Not the other way round.

Nothing hidden

Where something is uncertain, we say it is uncertain.

Stage one takes about five minutes.

Start with your site. Everything else follows from it.
