Things are progressing well with our project in Stoke Holy Cross, and we're on track to appoint a contractor by the end of this month.

We originally went out to five contractors, all of whom were carefully selected through a thorough pre-qualification process. We assessed everything from previous project experience and quality of work to financial stability, references, and availability to take on the scheme.

That process has now narrowed the field down to three strong contenders.

At this stage, the conversation shifts. Once you've established that all shortlisted contractors are capable of delivering the project to the required standard, the focus naturally turns to value and cost.

We've recently issued a schedule of queries and clarifications that will require amendments to the original submissions, allowing us to ensure we're comparing like-for-like proposals. From here, it becomes a cost-driven exercise, with the aim of securing the best overall outcome for our client.

Selecting the right contractor is about much more than simply choosing the lowest number, but having a robust process from the beginning certainly makes the final decision easier.

Looking forward to reaching the finish line on this stage of the project.

Here’s me and my gang enjoying some much-needed sunshine on holiday. Back to it now, but it reminded me of something I've really come to appreciate recently...

It's so important to completely switch off from your business from time to time!

For a long time, I did what I think a lot of business owners do, spending time with family while keeping one eye on my phone, answering those "urgent" emails and taking calls that felt too important to miss.

But I've realised that proper time off isn't a luxury; it's essential. It's become a non-negotiable for me.

Of course, it doesn't happen by accident. It takes preparation, planning ahead, and having people you trust around you who can keep things moving while you're away. But that's all part of building a sustainable business.

Setting clear boundaries with your team and clients is key too. The clearer you are about those boundaries, the more likely people are to respect them.

You come back refreshed, more focused, and ultimately better equipped to lead your business. The work will still be there when you get back. The time with family won't.

Now it's back to reality, the emails, and the to-do list, but after a proper break, I'm coming back with a much clearer head.

One of the less visible aspects of a project manager’s role is cost consultancy, but it’s often one of the most critical.

We’re currently running a tender process for a client, reviewing contractor returns, managing budgets and helping steer key decisions around cost, programme and value.

At the same time, we’re also supporting contractors with pricing across a high-end restaurant and several residential projects.

Working on both sides of the table gives us a well-rounded understanding of the commercial realities behind delivering quality projects.

It’s this balance of design understanding, commercial awareness and delivery expertise that increasingly makes us look for projects we can run on a turnkey basis.

From initial concepts and cost planning through to procurement, ex*****on and handover, there’s real value in carrying a project all the way through.

We couldn’t resist sharing a few external photos of our Islington project.

Without doubt, one of the most stunning gardens and rear facades we’ve ever had the pleasure of working on - and with weather like this, it’s looking its absolute best.

Seeing it come to life like this makes all the hard work worthwhile. The countless hours spent pricing, planning, refining and executing every detail suddenly feel very rewarding when a project reaches this stage.

One of the most fulfilling parts of what we do is being able to see a project through from the very beginning, from the early concepts and initial ideas, right through to a nearly completed home taking shape exactly as imagined.

This project has been a real pleasure to be part of, and we’re so excited to see it in its final form.

We see first-hand the value it brings when interior design is considered early, rather than being treated as an afterthought.

Good interior design influences far more than finishes and furniture. It impacts layouts, lighting, services, joinery details, spatial planning, material choices, and how a space ultimately functions day to day.

Bringing an interior designer into the process early allows key decisions to be coordinated from the beginning, helping to avoid costly redesigns, delays, and last-minute compromises later down the line.

It also means the construction team can properly plan around important details. Whether that’s power requirements, bespoke joinery, lighting layouts, specialist finishes or technical installation requirements.

From a project management perspective, early collaboration helps create clearer communication, better coordination, and a more joined-up approach across the entire design and delivery team.

Most importantly, it helps ensure the finished project doesn’t just work well technically; it feels cohesive, intentional and fully aligned with the client’s vision.

The strongest projects are usually the result of good collaboration from day one.

Let’s talk more about why a site visit is so crucial when it comes to tendering.

It really is the starting point of the entire process, and arguably the most important stage. This is where experience makes all the difference.

It’s not just about walking the site; it’s about truly understanding it and knowing exactly what you're looking for. Spotting the small details, identifying potential challenges, and recognising opportunities that could impact the build later on.

It’s also about asking the right questions early and making sure nothing is left to chance.

From there, it becomes a carefully managed process that relies on organisation and attention to detail. Every note taken on site, every follow-up, and every conversation with suppliers feeds into the final submission.

It’s this level of preparation that helps ensure a well-considered, accurate tender.

Great progress continues at our Highgate site, with the pitched roof structure now nearing completion and air-tightness parge coating to the external walls well underway.

Internal partition works are also progressing throughout the build as the home continues to take shape.

Externally, the Stepoc walls have now been clad with brick slips and finished with brick-on-edge detailing, while staircase installations have also been completed.

Window orders are due for delivery at the end of the month, keeping momentum strong as we move into the next phase of construction.

The follow on trades are already lined up, and we look forward to sharing further progress updates soon.

Are you thinking about starting a construction project?

It’s an exciting step, but getting things right from the beginning really does make all the difference.

We always tell clients that the best place to start is with proper professional advice early on.

Before spending anything, it’s worth taking the time to understand feasibility, look at the bigger picture, and get clarity on what’s realistically achievable.

It’s also really important to stay practical with decisions. Making sure your plans align with your budget from the outset can help you avoid unnecessary stress, delays, and costly redesigns later down the line.

Even a small amount of early guidance can go a long way in giving you confidence and helping the whole process run more smoothly.

Design details like these brick arches really do make a home stand out; it’s the kind of feature that adds something truly special to the final finish.

What you don’t always see, though, is just how much goes into bringing something like this to life.

It usually starts with the architect’s design intent, which is then passed on to a specialist to price, design, and manufacture the approved drawings.

This process can often take months to achieve the finish in these photos.

What is most crucial is the procurement of these items on time to deliver the superstructure above, and careful planning comes into play here.

It’s a great example of how the finer details take time, planning, and expertise, but they’re always worth it in the end.
