It all begins here

Our largest and most challenging build ever, so we decided to film it! The scale of this project is unbelievable if you didn’t see it Some of the numbers are just mind blowing.

Excavating on a massive scale.

See where it all begins looking at our site with 10 metres of rise from corner to corner we embark on making this site relatively level with a site cut up to 5 metres in depth.

Concrete slab stage.

Our slab is poured! Come and take a look at the size of this and reflect back on some of the astonishing numbers for excavation, see how the earlier works tie into this stage.

Frame Stage

Let’s take a look at the frame from all angles and get an understanding of the size of this home, some of the challenges we face and start talking about the cost of this project and some of the influences.

Heading towards lock up.

Progress on site is at a painfully slow pace, the roof has taken way longer than anticipated, the contractors original 12 weeks estimate has blown out to over 9 months stalling progress on site. The mitering of the hip joints on the slate roof tile is excruciatingly slow, and the sheer number of these joints means some days it feels like no work has been done. We decide to push on with window installation, cladding works and building some of the vaulted ceilings internally in the areas safe to do so.

With an overhead risk filming of this stage was not possible.

The Result.

The finished home stands as a testament to resilience, collaboration and an unwavering pursuit of excellence—crafted without compromise and designed to endure.
