Start with the change the home needs to make.
The quality of a renovation is often decided at the junctions: where retained masonry meets new insulation, where old floor levels change and where a new opening meets the existing structure.
Older fabric rarely follows the clean assumptions of a new drawing. Moisture, movement, levels and previous alterations have to be understood before details are fixed.
Survey-led detailing keeps weathering, airtightness, insulation and finishes coordinated, allowing new work to read clearly without erasing the character of the original building.
Structure, services and finishes planned as one build.
- Existing-fabric assessment
- Envelope upgrades
- New structural openings
- Internal finishing
The construction record follows the same clear sequence.
