Sustainable Design Sports Facilities Domestics Conversion and Refurbishment Conservation Churches Commercial and Industry

Much of our commercial work is referred to in other parts of this website, as, in so many cases, conversion, conservation or refurbishment have been involved.In this context, the following are relevant;

Re-ordering of Derby Church House and St Michael’s House into one building for offices for the Diocesen Board of Finance. Conversion of city centre bookshop into visitor centre and offices for Derby Cathedral Chapter and Enterprise Board.

Conversion of former butcher’s shop and adjacent chemist into large retail outlet, with offices over, St John Street, Ashbourne. Restoration and conversion of Cromford Mill for the Arkwright Society Refurbishment of office building, Friar Gate Derby, for Peak Trust Ltd.

Restoration of timber framed building as retail outlet and coffee shop for local bakery. Conversion of listed building into city centre hairdressing salon, Derby. Conversion of former cinema into an indoor market with nightclub above, Ashbourne.

Most of these involved work to listed buildings. However our industrial portfolio involves largely new buildings, including:

First phase hatchery building for Dove Valley Farms Ltd, and subsequently a large extension as second phase.
A large warehouse extension for Cottage Frames Ltd.
A new car showroom and offices for Sturston Motors Ltd.
Two large extensions (separate contracts) for Bowmer Bond Narrow Fabrics Ltd.

With our attention to detail and adaptability, we are able to address our talents to suit your needs. We can offer a specialist service in disability access requirements and are regularly consulted in the light of the Disability Discrimination Act, which comes into full force in October 2004.
