What triggers a variation
Any change to scope, design, specification, or hidden conditions discovered on site.
Controlled delivery • Radical transparency
Controlled delivery, clear reporting, and one major project at a time — so quality and programme don’t drift.
The goal is simple: protect design intent, control risk early, and keep decisions documented — so delivery stays calm.
30-minute call
Confirm fit on scope, area and constraints.
Drawings
Review buildability, lead times and risk early — before drift starts.
Tender + programme
Clear assumptions, sequencing logic, and practical constraints built in.
Pre-start logistics
Access, protection, neighbours, deliveries and site setup planned properly.
Delivery + weekly reporting
Progress, decisions, risks and photos — structured, not noisy.
Handover + snagging + follow-up
Structured close-out and follow-up to protect long-term quality.
Calm delivery depends on clear information. We keep reporting consistent so clients and architects stay confident.
Weekly reporting includes
Response expectations
Where possible, we respond within 2 working days.
Variations happen — what matters is how they’re handled. We keep change control documented, and agreed before works proceed.
Any change to scope, design, specification, or hidden conditions discovered on site.
We document the change, price the cost impact, and confirm any programme impact.
Work proceeds once it’s agreed in writing — unless safety-critical or to prevent damage.
High-end refurbishments fail when risks are ignored and details are left late. We push buildability and sequencing decisions forward.
Common risk areas
Straight answers. No fluff.
Best suited to high-detail refurbishments, where control and communication are prioritised. If you’re unsure, send a short outline and we’ll advise on fit.
Occasionally, if it’s a strong fit — but our core work is full refurbishments, refurb + extension, and complex detailing.
We’ll advise realistically based on scope, services shutdowns, access, and programme risk.
Logistics planned early, sequencing built around constraints, tight trade coordination, and weekly decision tracking — with issues flagged early.
Variations are documented, priced, and agreed before works proceed, so scope, cost, and programme stay controlled.
Drawings/spec where possible, access constraints, target start date, and a clear scope direction. We’ll tell you what’s missing quickly.
Yes. We’re structured to protect design intent, provide buildability input early, and report clearly throughout delivery.
Yes — our weekly reporting is designed to keep remote clients in control with documented decisions, photos and look-ahead planning.
