Courtyard Terraces
Twelve homes phased around one courtyard to keep neighbours on side.
Start with answers, not assumptions
Most budget overruns are decided before a line is drawn. We test your site, brief and budget together: measured survey, planning constraints, daylight and access checks, cost benchmarks and a carbon budget. You leave with one clear option, costed and programmed.
Ideal for first-time clients, tricky sites and anyone who needs a bank, board or planning officer to say yes.
