We refurbished the entire house, a significant personal investment and something we definitely wanted to get right. From concept drawings to final building control sign off, Huntsmore were with us at every step...We felt fully supported throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Donna B.,

Couldn’t be more pleased with the job the team at Huntsmore did with our house. They helped us with every aspect of what ended up being a large project - and managed to deliver it all on time. We absolutely love the house and highly recommend Huntsmore.

Jessica H.,

From the initial exploration of ideas, down to finishing details, the Huntsmore team were able to handle all for me. I would not hesitate in recommending Huntsmore in helping anyone with their project.

Diana M.,

Huntsmore exceeded expectations in all aspects of the project. Despite a tight timeframe, Huntsmore delivered the project ahead of schedule and kept to the budget. They oversaw the whole process, from design to build and I intend to use them for my next renovation.

OUR PROCESS

1. BRIEF

A meeting at your property to assess the project’s feasibility, both stylistically and in practical construction terms.

The project’s design goals are clarified, ideas and advice conveyed, and any potential hurdles highlighted.

Budget and potential project costings are discussed and a general guideline on cost can be outlined before designs are developed in more detail.

2. DESIGN

Our in-house design and construction management team work collaboratively with you to compile all design concepts and pre-construction information.

As well as creating a beautiful aesthetic, Huntsmore will handle all planning permissions, listed building consents, License to Alter agreements and any other statutory requirements.

Our Quantity Surveyor will build a detailed Schedule of Works and pricing document and then run the tender process to appoint a suitable contractor.

3. BUILD

Once a contractor is appointed, Huntsmore act as independent project manager and contract administrator [CA].

We oversee the project on a daily basis and act as a point of contact between you and the main contractor with update meetings and calls scheduled around your diary.

If you appoint any specialist external subcontractors [kitchen suppliers, restoration specialists] will manage these parties and their interactions with the main contractor on site.

4. COMPLETION

Final build works are fully inspected by Huntsmore to ensure design and functionality are achieved.

A snagging list is compiled and completed ahead of the deadline and ahead of final payments to the contractor.

Formal handover includes all installation certificates (GAS SAFE, NICEIC, FENSA, etc.) as well as Building Control and any other governing bodies.
