Axo in Action
COMPLEX HERITAGE & RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
East Sussex
We are leading the redevelopment of a Grade II listed building and its grounds, shaping a 45‑home scheme where sensitive ecology and heritage considerations guide every decision. Joining at a moment of stalled progress, we identified the design, cost and delivery issues slowing the project and helped restore clarity and momentum. We prepared a detailed cost plan that gave the client firm grounding for decisions and reflected real market conditions. Alongside this, we continue to review design proposals, advise on procurement options and work through technical and financial risks as the project develops. Working closely with the client team, planners, environmental specialists and surveyors, we help align heritage requirements, ecological priorities and the practical needs of delivery. Our ongoing involvement supports a clear route to planning and long‑term value for the site.
