What do you love most about your job?
The ability to create! whether it be inside outside, being able to listen to our clients and present imaginative and creative concepts/ideas.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The early part of our careers as employees highlighted the wrong motivations/drivers that a lot of businesses put first. It inspired us to create a company that puts the clients and the designs before anything else - better for the client, design and the environment.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are a small team of friendly but innovative and highly skilled individuals, all who have a vested interest in the business. We are client focused and care about what we design whatever the budget or location.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We can provide most services online and in some cases this can be achieved with little fuss. However, experience tells us that visiting our projects and having face to face interaction is key to understanding not only what the client wants but the local area and the context of what’s trying to be achieved.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
All of the team have access to a range of online meeting platforms and equipment, however even with online provision any quality company will need to visit site for photographs, context and eventually a survey. Under these circumstances all of our team utilise a full range of PPE, gloves, masks, aprons etc, we would always recommend that only one person visit site and that all appropriate guidelines are strictly followed.
