This is essential to our work – to act honourably, even when no-one is watching. For our clients – individuals with catastrophic disabilities - and the professionals who instruct us, our clear focus on integrity helps us to earn and retain trust in us, in the decisions we make, in our advice and in our actions.

We’re adamant that everything we do helps to build trust in the whole construction design, sourcing and surveying professions – because we’re tired of seeing the stress and worry caused by poor quality workmanship and design, and a failure to communicate clearly and promptly. Our team are proud of what we do and find joy in delivering homes that are designed to enable. We do this by listening, engaging, informing, and working alongside qualified, validated and expert professionals in their field.

We know what we’re doing but that shouldn’t come at the cost of ignoring our clients’ needs, wishes and ambitions – or the aspirations of their family. Our projects are only great because of the input, time and teamwork that our clients, their families, legal professionals and wider support team provide and we treat them with respect and attention, at all times. We look after our people too, so of course, we advocate for honestly, respect and care to be a two-way street.

It’s easy to crow about the good things that happen but harder to admit when things go wrong, when there might be a delay or if we can’t meet specific requests. There’s usually a valid reason but sometimes things happen that are out of our control. We plan ahead and build time into our projects and we communicate clearly, regularly and aren’t afraid to be honest and roll up our sleeves to remedy an issue. If things don’t go as planned, be sure that we’ll act fast to address a problem to ensure we deliver what we promised, and more.

We want to make the world a better place and while we know we can’t take on all the world’s battles, if we can carve a utopia in our own corner of the globe then we’re doing something right. Specifically, ensuring that everything we do is designed to help enable those who have lost so much already – whether that’s through ensuring we put our client’s lives first and create homes they can be enabled by and love (putting their dreams before our own ambitions); educating others by sharing our experiences, and; encouraging communities to see the long-term value for everyone in building homes that aren’t just fit-for purpose but designed to enable.

The people we design homes for have had their lives turned upside down and their challenges and achievements inspire us to go further, every time. We go beyond the norm in our project management, vision and delivery to know that we’ve played a significant part in helping individuals move forwards and to offer them a space that enables them to grow, thrive and live as independently as possible.
