What was built

Interior and renovation works within an existing building, two floors and 5,000 sq ft, done to a high-class standard. The key rooms were re-proportioned in the renovation: a drawing room of 15 x 18 ft, a family lounge of 24 x 50 ft, a bedroom of 14 x 18 ft. Those dimensions are the results, and they were arrived at inside a building that already stood, which is the whole discipline of renovation work.

How an engagement like this runs

A residential engagement opens with the advance and presentation drawings, then the working-drawing set carries the build: room-by-room dimensions, levels stated as numbers, the detail junctions a mason meets. Structural drawings follow where the design adds or removes structure, then MEP for water, power and drainage. Supervision runs through construction against the drawing, and closure ends with the walkthrough against the brief.

This is the practice’s standing method for the type, not a claim about this project. The stage sequence and payment triggers are on how we work.
