Ocean Developments
We take on a small number of whole-house projects each year and run every one ourselves.
Most of our work is in Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion flats: stripping back, extending, and rebuilding with joinery, stone and services done to a standard that holds up for decades. We work alongside your architect, interior designer and QS, or bring our own.
You get a fixed programme, a cost plan you can read, and a site that is run tidily from the first strip-out to the snagging list.
