Project Details
This was one of these lovely jobs, working on an old family for the next generation. Our client on this project had grown up in this house and was now moving back in. She loved the location and the neighbours, and she was fond of the house. But the house was old and dated. What she wanted was a modern version of her old house. Not only did she need it insulated etc etc, but she needed the layout changed to suit her lifestyle. We completely gutter the house as we always do and we demolished the old extensions at the rear of the house. These were re-built and the layout of the house was changed completely. The building fabric was modernised and we installed all modern utilities. The finished product is familiar to our client, but completely different at the same time. Handover was great fun because our client hadn’t visit site at all during the works. She was overwhelmed.
