Brief

This project was a whole-home refurbishment within a conservation context, with the aim of improving layout and longevity without compromising the property’s outward character. Internally, the home was reworked into an open-plan kitchen and social lounge, supported by upgraded services and a finishes strategy built around clean lines, durability and low visual noise.

A key priority throughout was quiet delivery: neighbour-aware routines, careful logistics, staged approvals and a controlled programme—kept transparent through structured weekly updates.

Challenges

Conservation constraints requiring early coordination and staged approvals.
Concealing services while maintaining ceiling lines and heritage proportions.
Heritage joinery integration (balusters/handrail/cornices) with consistent alignment.
Wet-area micro-cement detailing needing correct sequencing and inspection points.
Noise, deliveries and site routines managed to protect neighbours and programme.

Solutions

Early buildability review to align detailing intent with services routes and build-ups.
Sequencing built around critical junctions (ceilings, joinery, wet areas) to protect finish quality.
Sample/sign-off strategy staged early to reduce late rework and ambiguity.
Quiet-site routine implemented: booked deliveries, zero idling, daily tidy-down.
Variations documented, priced and agreed before work proceeded.

Programme & control

Delivery was run with weekly reporting, decision tracking and early risk flagging—so the client remained confident and the programme stayed calm. Variations were controlled through a simple rule: price + programme impact agreed before work proceeds, keeping scope and expectations aligned throughout.

Weekly reporting included
