Happy Friday people 😊

There so much going on at Charles Blake Associates Architecture that it's going to take a few posts to catch up!

This week I attended The Really Useful Network Trades & Construction Sprinter Group, hosted by new front-runner Allister Parr - MCIOB of Quintet Construction Management.

I've been a member of the RUN almost a year now, have met some really great people and learned so much along the way. This week we had some very informative talks on how to manage the costs of constuction projects by:

- Luke Clement & Sam Healeas from Base Construction and CORE Estimating

- Paul Rose of PMR Architecture

- Alex Downey & Abigail H. of Bradfords Building Supplies Ltd

Stong collaboration, early on in projects and throughout, is key to keeping things on track. We work with some great people who we bring in early to the design conversations - its the best way to control costs, expectations and buildability 👌

If you have a project you'd like architectural advice on, we'd be delighted to help.

Simon was fortunate enough to be invited by The Really Useful Network to see the ongoing stabilisation and restoration work at Oldway Mansion this week. 👀

There is some great work being carried out by MW Benney Ltd under the watchful eye of Alex Bickham. So lovely to see the lost character being reinstated with such care and attention👌

It will be great to see this community asset fully restored for the people of and beyond 🙌

It's a great sign! 🤩

🟣 A sign of trusted architectural expertise 📐

Last week we put up some lovely new signs from the great team at DSigns Devon Strong branding and a quality image are all important and DSigns perform every time 🙌

Signs went up on our projects at Chuley Road, and Exeter Road, Abbot. We also took one down at our completed project at Ilsham Marine Drive in .

Works are well under way to build three houses on this forgotton piece of land in Torquay 👏

A huge structural engineering job to get things started, perfectly designed by Lucy Ashby

Construction is being led by the ever-capable .sw

The houses will be coming to the market early next year and look at those views 😍

Better a bad day on the water, than a good day in the office! (or so the saying goes). ⛵

Fortunately, we had a great day on the water at the The Torbay Invitational 😎

Big thanks to amongst others to David Meek of Philip Meek Mortgages and Ashley Bevans of Wollens for organising the event and the perfect sailing weather too ☀️

I was grateful for the invite from Nicholas Wheeldon of Waycotts to join skippers Paul & John Poulain on Gallivanter, along with Hamish, Luke & Joe. 🙏

We may not have won, but we felt like winners arriving back at Royal Torbay Yacht Club and joining in an afternoon of celebrating with all of the other winners🏆 🍾

Great to see lots of familiar faces from Torbay in the such a great setting. Can't wait for next year! 💯

Wednesday Rewind (still not a thing yet, but I'm working on it!) 😉

With all this warm weather, how lovely to be able to cool down in your own outdoor pool 🏊

This project involved a whole-house makeover, enlargement and the all-important pool. Interestingly, the pool is deep in the centre so volleyball can be played - nice 😎

The CBA Team absolutely love working on projects such as this. If you have a project you’d like to talk about, we’d be happy to help 😊
