If it’s your first time renovating your home, you may not be sure where to start. That’s why we’ve […]
No renovation project or architectural design is complete without some form of glazing, from glass floors to sliding doors, and motorised glass to energy-efficient windows. All of these effectively flood your projects with natural light and create an enhanced sense of space for your clients.
As the world of architecture continues to develop rapidly, the role of glass has also evolved. Glazing now offers more flexibility than ever before, and client requests and requirements have changed.
When it comes to planning […]
What are Diggers/Excavators?
Mini excavators look for machines that are usually the same size as a normal skid steer loader but have a very different purpose. These include a heavy-duty stick that interfaces with multiple attachments and a mounted blade. To be considered mining, a machine would typically weigh 10,000 pounds, or less than 5 tons, although this principle is not strictly followed.
Small diggers, also called compact excavators, are primarily valued by small hydraulic diggers for their expertise and ability […]

Signage is an integral part of our built landscapes, from wayfinding signs to branding. Often acting as a complement to buildings and infrastructure, signage can enter our collective consciousness in the same way iconic buildings can, whether it’s the cheerfully informative blue plaques that pepper our landscape with historical titbits, or the hugely recognisable London Underground roundel that heralds every station.
In this way, signage plays a role in influencing the way people perceive the environment they navigate, creating a […]
Construction sites face all kinds of security risks and dangers, from theft and trespassing to vandalism and even unwanted spying.
In fact, a huge 92% of site managers have reported petty crime in recent years, according to a survey by the Chartered Institute of Building. And the total cost of vandalism and theft is estimated to cost the UK construction industry upwards of £800 million every year.
So, site security is clearly worth taking seriously. But what can you do to […]

Cost estimation is a process that benefits everyone involved in building or extending a property. Yet for something that is supposed to provide transparency and clarity, the world of architectural cost estimation can be confusing. Depending on the scale of the project, there are a myriad different ways to estimate costs, each with varying reliability.
Not all of these methods will apply to every build, and some may be more relevant to different end users, whether that’s builders, self-builders or […]
Construction does not immediately jump out as an industry that may face issues with change management, but in fact this is simply not the case. This last year has seen many changes within the construction industry, running operations throughout a year that has faced both the coronavirus pandemic and had to make plans for the effects of leaving the European union and the uncertainty surrounding imports when the Brexit transition period ended. It is essential, therefore, for construction companies […]
For any job, finding ways to complete tasks more efficiently is desirable. After all, the quicker and easier you get something done, the more time and money you’ll save. That’s vital, given that businesses can lose 30% of yearly revenue from inefficiency.
