architecture; built to exacting standards

In simple terms, we provide a boutique design and build service to private clients across Cheshire and the North of England. To do this we seamlessly integrate the roles of chartered architects, construction managers and management contractor within one practice. 

We employ a dedicated workforce of apprentice-trained craftsmen and for each commission we assign a core 'project team’. This project team, working closely with specialist works contractors (or subcontractors) with whom we have long-standing partnerships, then expertly delivers every facet of the build.

From listed country cottages to bespoke new-builds, plusminuszero has the expertise, experience and dedication to ensure quality, craftsmanship and the highest standards. And at the core of its success is a commitment to maintaining long-standing relationships with its clients.

our values

With each new project our motivation is simple; to make the process of building or remodelling our clients’ houses as simple and enjoyable for them as possible. And we are very conscious of legacy; so we aim to design houses which look as if they were always meant to be there and we then build them to ensure they always will be. So with every project we aim to help create a part of Britain’s future heritage. Finally, we strive to design and build with an attention to detail some may view as obsessive, although we see as simply doing the job properly.

plusminuszero approaches each project as a partnership, with the client and designer sharing the same common values and with a total commitment to the highest quality. What distinguishes plusminuszero is the professional management of all stages of the contract by a highly qualified management team. Moreover we undertake not just to ensure that the building is finished to the highest possible standards, but that it can be easily and properly maintained thereafter.
