A winter of measuring

Before Ostrum Hall had a single drawing, we spent four months reading it.

Measure first

We do not propose anything until the building has been measured by hand and by laser, photographed in every room and read against the archive. At Ostrum Hall that took a whole winter.

The survey found two blocked lancets in the east wall, a medieval floor under the granary boards and a fireplace that had been moved twice. None of it was on the old plans.

What you get

Every client receives a set of measured drawings and a short history of the building, written in plain English. It is the document everything else is built on, and it is theirs to keep whatever they decide to do next.
