Works are ongoing to Phase 2 of a single-storey barn conversion located in Low Ham, Somerset. After undertaking renovation works last year, construction has now progressed to the new extension of the barn to create an expanded open-plan living space. It is intended that, once completed, the new annexe will be used by our client as future carer’s accommodation.
The office is currently very busy with many projects on-going over the last year ranging from planning and listed building consents through to making a start on site. A project has recently started on site near Woking for a replacement dwelling, footings are well underway. An extension to a house in Taunton has recently been completed after the contractor continued to work through all of last year. Similarly, a house extension was completed in Henley at the end of last year (please see photos below).
We have also recently obtained planning and listed building consent for an extension to a curtilage grade II barn in Curry Rivel and some new entrance gates, barn alterations and internal alteration to a Grade II* Manor House in Fivehead.
A third and final dwelling is also about to commence on a site in Martinstown, Dorset, completing the development.

Great news to see that Somerset Rural Life Museum has now reopened after lockdown, please do go a visit (https://swheritage.org.uk/somerset-rural-life-museum/).
We assisted the South West Heritage Trust with the new floor surface inside the Abbey Barn to record the archaeological surface exposed following archaeological investigations and prepare proposal drawings for the new floor.
This was a complex project to ensure that the sensitive archaeological horizon was protected and all new services and floor surfaces did not impact on this zone.

We are glad to say that although the past 6 months have been very strange our on-site projects are slowly getting back to normal with 3 completing in the past month. It has been a bit of a learning curve in regards to how contract administration adapts to the delay caused by COVID-19, especially when building sites were not required to shut, but staff and building supplies had stopped. However, we have been able to address this with minimal impact to both our clients and the contractors.

We currently have a number of projects on site which are at different stages of construction and completion. These have provided some challenges both in the form of construction in regards to the integration of a sunken wine cellar and tide pool, as well as working within tight site constraints and existing building conditions.
Hopefully within the next month 3 of these projects will be completed with another due for completion in the new year. We also have another 2 projects starting within the next few weeks and will hopefully have some news on these projects in the near future.
