Specialists in Heritage and Historic Conservation

We have a particular passion for the South West’s most loved and iconic buildings. Our team finds the delicate balance between sympathetic alterations and modern building performance. Whether it is securing Listed Building Consent or breathing life back into a traditional cliff-side cottage like our project at Penberth Cove, we handle the approval process with confidence.

Architectural Design & Project Management

We are more than just surveyors. We are architectural designers and project consultants. We have worked with prestigious clients like the Budock Vean Hotel to create new investment opportunities and managed major maintenance projects for Falmouth University. From the first sketch of an extension to the final sign-off of a commercial refurbishment, we are with you at every stage.

A Team Built on Experience

Our leadership team, including Directors Richard Collett, Martyn Middlewick, and John Darbyshire, ensures that the principles of clarity and integrity established by our founder remain at the heart of our work.

"We believe in giving people a sound foundation from which to make their decisions. Your peace of mind is our absolute priority."
