SPASE - Chartered Surveyors

We are a multidisciplinary practice of architects and building surveyors who believe that the future of our built environment lies in the intelligent balance of tradition and innovation. Based in the heart of Dorset at Athelhampton House, we help homeowners and investors unlock the potential of their properties through a 'fabric-first' approach to sustainability.

Whether you are looking to sensitively restore a Grade I listed estate or commission a cutting-edge Passivhaus new build, we provide a seamless service that combines creative architectural vision with the technical precision of chartered surveying.

From Heritage to Net Zero

We are nationally recognised for our expertise in the decarbonisation of historic buildings. Our work proves that heritage and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. By delivering intelligent retrofit and reuse strategies, we help protect our architectural past while preparing it for a low-carbon future.

Our pioneering work at Athelhampton House—developing Net Zero strategies for a complex listed building—earned us spots on the shortlists for the AJ Retrofit & Reuse Awards and the RICS Awards 2024.

Led by Technical Excellence

Our practice is built on the combined expertise of highly qualified professionals who understand how buildings perform, age, and adapt.

• Stefan Pitman (Managing Director): A Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) with over 17 years of experience. With a Master’s in Conservation of the Historic Environment, Stefan is a leader in the creative reuse of heritage assets.
• Erin Mcloughlin (Associate): A Chartered Architect (RIBA) with over a decade of experience delivering diverse residential and community projects, including the award-winning contemporary pavilion at The Sherborne.
