The brief
The owners wanted the ground floor to work as one room without losing the character of the house. The wiring was original, the plumbing had been patched for decades and two interior walls carried more load than anyone expected.
How we built it
We stripped the house back to the brick and joists, installed a steel beam to open the kitchen wall, kept the old brick arches and ran new electrical, plumbing and ventilation before any finishes went in. The family moved out for the first sixteen weeks and back in for the last ten.
At handover
The job finished one week inside the agreed schedule. Every change order was priced and signed before the work was done.
