THE ENQUIRY

The initial enquiry came via local architect Andrew Sloane of Geoffrey Sloane Associates.
The 5 companies quoting were reduced to 2, and then a 2 stage tender was undertaken. Jaques Construction was selected after the architect and clients inspected previous work.

THE BRIEF

The clients, focused on obtaining perfect results, wanted to create their dream home from an old barn on their land.

COSTING AND PLANNING

David Jaques suggested the structural engineers trusses could be replaced with a more substantial traditional oak frame, and quoted for it as a recommended option. After due consideration it was agreed by the clients, leading to the beautiful results shown.
We sourced and carefully selected reclaimed bricks to complement those available on site, and researched which type of renewable energy was best suited to the site, a ground source heat pump being selected.
A programme was agreed that allowed the various trades involved to work in optimum conditions.
