With over a decade of previous architectural design experience I leverage design and construction expertise with commercial thinking. I am to bridge planning strategy, build-ability with market positioning and development potential to unlock longterm value.

Owning land doesn't automatically mean it can be developed, but many sites have untapped potential that isn't immediately obvious.

The development potential of a site depends on several factors, including:

• Its location and surrounding land uses

• Local planning policies and settlement boundaries

• Access to the public highway

• Utilities and infrastructure

• Environmental and ecological constraints

• Existing planning history

• Site size, shape and topography

Even if your land has previously been refused planning permission, that doesn't necessarily mean development is impossible. Planning policies evolve, surrounding areas change, and a different design or strategy may produce a different outcome.

At Volume Metric, we begin by assessing whether a site has realistic development potential before exploring the most appropriate strategy. Our aim is to provide clear, commercially informed advice so you can make confident decisions about your land.

I combine architectural thinking using tools to get the most out of a site at conception. Most developers get to building regulations stages realising the site they bought falls short due to architectural considerations that weren’t not aware of.

Drawing from over a decade of experience in architecture, here at Volume Metric we lead with design to make commercial decisions to dramatically reduce the risks associated with building and construction.
