Why use me

Personal service
The person you meet will be the person who does the work

Professional service
The work will be carried out and completed in a fully professional manner irrespective of the time necessary or the fee agreed for the commission.

Complete service
Anything from a sketch of your house, ideas for improvement, cost advice, contract advice, or help in sorting out problems, to full design and management of a building project including preparation of all information necessary to apply for planning permission and to obtain building regulations approval

Experience
A former Chartered Surveyor with over 40 years experience of the building industry, a former President of the Society of Chief Quantity Surveyors who recognises that cost must be treated as an element of design and not as an unfortunate by-product, and a former member of the Association for Project Management who has managed projects ranging in value from £1000 to £50 million

Attention to detail
A designer with extensive experience of domestic architecture, often in conservation areas, with a commitment to the ethos that “small can be beautiful” and that attention to detail can enhance even the smallest alteration or extension

Economy
The low overheads of a sole practitioner permit competitive fees in comparison with larger practices
