Quality, Cost and Personnel

Even before construction starts, our usual approach is to choose 90% of all the materials and colours together with the client, as well as having all the contracts of work and services signed. This enables our clients to relax and enjoy the construction phase of their home or building.

We aim to deliver turn-key, buildings to Passive House standard but at the price of one-off houses that are designed to barely comply with the Building Regulations. We aim to give our clients high levels of cost assurance and minimise any potential for cost or time-overruns by having a Swiss-style emphasis on quality and co-operation on every site.

We also aim to build at speeds that will reduce construction times by more than half. We can do this by (1) using Swiss ‘closed-cell’ timber frame, (2) by having a clear specification which has been generated with quality, cost and speed of erection as key concerns and (3) by using teams of contractors who have built to this standard again and again and again.

Generally we use Swiss timber framers, painters, plumbers and joiners. Sub-works, slab and electricians (RECI-certified) will always be Irish. Contact us for more information on our unique approach at info@josephlittlearchitects.com
