Extensions, new builds and commercial work
Each project shows what we built, how big it was and, for our case studies, the challenge on site and how we solved it.
New Builds · Birdlip, Gloucestershire
Work is well under way on a new stone-faced building in the Cotswold village of Birdlip. From setting out and excavating the foundations to raising the external walls, these photos follow the build as it happens. The stone facing has been chosen to sit comfortably alongside the village's Cotswold stone cottages. We'll keep adding photos as the project progresses.

Built to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint using air-source heat pumps, heat recovery, solar panels, water-restriction devices and upgraded cavity wall insulation.
