Business description

This partnership was formed some 12 years ago by two qualified architects(one is RIBA Chartered Architect and other BA (Hons) Architectural & Interior Design) who between them can boast some 80 years experience within the design and build marketplace. Between them the two partners offer the following range of architcture, interior design and building management services to a wide variety of clients. Residential Barn Conversions Industrial Retail Commercial (inc Hotels, Restuarants & Public Houses) Sports Pavillions National Heritage works Extensions Alterations Certification P.I. Building Regulations Professional Inspection Work Project Management The business has completed many different types of projects in the past and continues to provide a good mix of services to its clients with recent projects including domestic jobs(be it one offs or new build estates), barn conversions and more rural developments such is its location within a relatively rural part of England. In saying that the business still does undertake a fair percentage of commercial/industrial developments (circa 30% overall) within the towns and cities it serves. It has successfully dealt with projects having values up to 8million in the past. The main geographical areas the partnership serves are Staffordshire (including Moorlands), Cheshire, Shropshire and The Midlands. Customer Service: This business prides itself on providing a very personal level of service. It can provide clients with complete turnkey solutions from initial designs through to final inspection and sign-off. The partnership prides itself on its ability to take on new challenges and deliver clients requirements quickly and effectively. Key Strengths: The partners have earned and maintained an impressive base of satisfied clients many of which have been with the architects through many projects. It prefers to work with private companies and individuals dealing with the actual Client directly - resulting in clearer briefings and faster decision making. The partnership has a real presence in the market and because of this enjoys a healthy pipeline and order book. In many instances they have to be selective on what enquiries they take on such is the demand for their services and expertise. There are very few similar type practices in the area which is surprising given the amount of land available that is prime for both rural and industrial developments. This bodes well for the future prosperity of the business. Growth and Expansion: The business has hundreds of historical clients. With some new energy and proactive networking this partnership could easily expand its current operation. The vendors have kept the activity at their current levels through choice. Key Opportunities: As already mentioned the business is selective on what enquiries it takes on. A new owner with additional energy, resource and business acumen could certainly increase fee revenue significantly by fully developing the opportunities at their disposal. In addition to this some proactive marketing would also reap rewards as the business currently undertakes very little advertising.
