Project Description

Some projects run from day one to completion. Some jobs take a few days; others take weeks. And some are run over an elongated time frame.

This one started in December 2013 and was completed in May 2015. Although it was a fairly large job, we built this in installments on the basis of the client preferring to pay for it in sections: I’d build for a couple of weeks and go off on another project; then come back to do a bit more.

I quite like it as a way of working. When you have a huge project, it’s hard to remain focused. When you look how much is to be done, it can be dispiriting.
