Your Barn Conversion in 3 Seamless Steps

Consultation

We begin with an on-site consultation (once architectural drawings are in place), discussing your vision, the building’s condition and regulatory needs. We conduct site investigations, material testing, and offer guidance on how to proceed compliantly.

Planning & Design

We work with your chosen architect or one from our recommended partners to ensure your designs are practical, compliant and preserve the nature of your property. We liaise with planning officers and building control where needed.

Specialist Construction

We carry out the construction with sensitivity to the existing building, ensuring structural soundness, visual continuity and full compliance. We manage every aspect of the build, including liaising with building control and heritage officers throughout.
