Business Details
We are a Chartered Architects practice based in North Staffordshire, established in 2011 and incorporated in November 2014. Our Principal Architect has been registered since 1987, bringing over three decades of professional expertise to every project. We have delivered projects across private and public sectors, including education, healthcare, commercial and residential schemes up to 5 million construction value. Our practice operates from a focused studio model, allowing us to maintain low overheads while providing large-practice experience in a small SME package. We specialise in low-rise Higher Risk Buildings up to four storeys or 11 metres, and we manage Principal Designer duties under both CDM and Building Regulations. Since 2008 we have pioneered offsite construction techniques, earning industry awards for our technical innovation.
We work collaboratively with an established multi-disciplinary consultant team, ensuring comprehensive design coordination and risk management. Our client base includes builders, contractors, developers, local authorities and NHS trusts, many of whom return for repeat appointments. We pride ourselves on delivering visionary, technically robust solutions that respect client budgets and brief requirements. We advise clients transparently, offering the guidance they need rather than simply what they want to hear. As a small business we value timely invoice settlement, which sustains the high level of service and attention to detail that defines our reputation.
