A written report, every fortnight
Progress photos, programme against plan, decisions needed and cost status — in writing, every two weeks, whether the news is good or awkward.
How we work
A process with no surprises
Great buildings aren’t rushed into — they’re planned into existence. Here is the path every Skylon project follows.
Five stages
From first call to final key
-
Stage 01
Consultation
We start by listening. A conversation about your building, your ambitions and your constraints — followed by a site visit where useful. You’ll get straight answers about feasibility, budget ranges and realistic timelines before anything is committed to paper.
-
Stage 02
Design & Feasibility
Working with your architect — or through our design & build route — we develop the scheme technically: structure, services, joinery and finishes coordinated on one drawing set, so problems are solved on paper, where they are cheap.
-
Stage 03
Detailed Costing & Programme
You receive an itemised proposal in plain English: costs, programme, assumptions and exclusions clearly stated. No allowances hidden in small print — a number you can plan a life or a business around.
-
Stage 04
Construction & Craftsmanship
Our site teams take over — with joinery, spraying and electrical specialists from the Skylon Group working to one standard. You get a single director-level contact, scheduled progress updates and a site kept clean enough to walk in good shoes.
-
Stage 05
Completion & Aftercare
Handover means a finished building, complete documentation and certification — and a team that still answers the phone afterwards. We snag before you do, and we stand behind the work long after the scaffold comes down.
What you can expect
Throughout every stage
- One point of contact. A director who knows your project by heart — not a call centre.
- Weekly clarity. Progress, decisions needed and look-ahead — in writing, every week.
- Cost discipline. Changes priced before they happen, never discovered on an invoice.
- Respect for the place. Clean sites, considerate hours, neighbours kept onside.
The client experience
You’ll always know where you stand
Most construction stress isn’t caused by problems — it’s caused by silence. We removed the silence.
One director-level contact
You deal with someone who can make decisions — the same person from tender to handover, reachable when it matters.
Decisions before deadlines
Choices are presented with options and prices while there’s still time to think — never as a fait accompli on an invoice.
An open site
Visit whenever you like — announced or not. A site you can walk through in good shoes is the standard we hold ourselves to.
