Bradshaw House, Congleton, Cheshire

Hawksmoor were instructed to undertake pre-purchase due diligence upon the site’s 200+ years of historic significance as a Grade II, Regency/Georgian Listed Building, occupying the site of John Bradshaw’s House in Congleton’s conservation area. Consultancy works included interests from the Georgian Group, commissioning of arboricultural and acoustic surveys, heritage significance and justification reports, energy assessments and sympathetic design works. Brian is what can only be described as a ‘fine tooth comb’, attention to detail is this man’s middle name. The project management support was second to none. At no point was I left feeling I was among a large quantity of other projects competing for Hawksmoor’s input.

We have found it difficult to find consultants who have similar fire, desire, and commercial discerning to deliver projects. Brian and his team at Hawksmoor are one of the exceptions taking viability and timescales to heart. Project co-ordination brought about successful final designs, and with the valued support of Local Authority Conservation and Planning Officers the issue of full planning permissions for supported living apartments and associated listed building consent.

Without Hawksmoor the project would have been aborted due to lack of progress and holding costs exceeding budget. As a company and personally, I cannot recommend them enough. They have gone above and beyond, pulling out all the stops to see this project over the line.
