This service provides the bridge between the technical construction drawings and the detailed aesthetic choices, giving you clarity and control over your material choices.
Our detailed Schedule of Finishes covers:
- Measured Finishes and Materials: A clear, room-by-room breakdown detailing what is required and the estimated quantity (m2, m, or unit count) of fixed materials for your project.
- Accurate Cost Allowances: Setting a realistic financial scope by providing recommended budget allowances (e.g., £/m2) for key materials like flooring, tiles, and worktops, ensuring contractors price consistently.
- Guidance on Fixed Fittings: Providing initial guidance on the suitability and type of key fittings, including showers, taps, kitchen sinks, appliances, and essential bathroom furniture (final choices by client).
- Partial Specification: Detailing the type, finish, and quality of specific building elements, including external finishes, plastering, and any necessary works to the existing house.
- Accurate Contractor Pricing: Offering the measurable information contractors need to provide accurate, fixed-price tenders, helping you avoid unexpected costs during the build.
- Streamlined Decision Framework: Creating a clear structure that focuses your decision-making, allowing you to confirm final colour, shade, and pattern choices efficiently.
- Editable Client Record: Providing an editable document that serves as your centralised record for all material decisions, sources, prices, and quantities, ready to be shared directly with your contractor.
- Pragmatic On-Site Reference: Acting as a comprehensive on-site record for your builder, minimising questions and preventing delays related to material choice during the construction phase.

Creating Warmth in the Bath Countryside 🏡
Caught up with some wonderful homeowners in a beautiful village just outside Bath this week to see their completed home extension! Well, just look at the result...
This renovation project was all about connecting their family home to the annex, creating a bright, practical, and truly enjoyable space. We think this looks like the perfect cosy spot for winter relaxing and cuddling up with the whole family, don`t you?
A huge shout-out to @leaf.build for their expertise and thorough attention to detail. Their hard work on the stonework, complex scribing, and the extensive built-in storage has delivered a beautiful, crisp, yet utterly homely finish.

Caught up with some lovely clients to review their finished home improvement project. 🐾
The challenge here was interesting: we needed to design around the existing kitchen to create a bright, larger living area while ensuring the home was future-proofed for the long term.
The solution involved creating a dedicated boot room—perfect for muddy boots and acting as a "dog paws control area"—plus a much more generous ground floor shower room. It’s not just about adding space; it’s about creating practical, enjoyable spaces that work for the people (and pets) living in them.
A fantastic result that is sympathetic to the context of the building.

Back on Site and Charmed by a Period Home!
On my first site survey since breaking my collarbone in August, I was utterly charmed by the beautiful period features of this Bath home. It’s a wonderful example of how homeowners can retain original character while planning for a contemporary future.
I especially loved the unique hallway window, the perfectly proportioned double bay window, and the original front door with its stained glass. We won`t be changing these features. Instead, the focus of our home extension will be on creating a modern rear addition that provides all the space and facilities needed for today`s lifestyle.
Our goal is to create an extension that beautifully complements the existing house, giving the clients their dream home without losing any of its original charm. As a residential architect, I understand the importance of making the most of a home`s heritage while delivering a fantastic modern space.

Sometimes, the most beautiful spaces are hiding in plain sight. This home renovation shows how you can completely transform a space without needing a huge extension.
By simply re-working the layout—taking down internal walls, moving a door, and creating larger windows—we were able to create a bright and inviting environment perfect for modern family life. The new open plan kitchen and beautiful herringbone flooring connect the spaces and add real value to the home.
If you could transform one room in your home, which would it be?
