Always an eye to the budget and the timeline…

After working with Karl on my own project - which won the Manser Medal for the best new house of 2005, and then starting my own design business, Karl and I worked together on numerous prestigious building projects throughout London. Karl was always reliable, running the projects with an eye to the budget and the timeline. His work was always to an extremely high standard, with great attention to detail and finish. I’d have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for any building work.
