Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Management have modelled the company's cash flows using different scenarios, considering the timing of ongoing projects, outgoings to subcontractors and variability on other costs. The director has provided a letter of support, confirming their personal financial support should the company require it. Therefore the director is confident that the business can meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024 was a challenging year for the UK construction sector, marked by falling output, rising costs, and a sharp decline in project starts across public and private sectors. High inflation, tighter budgets, and delays in public funding created a tougher environment for design and architecture practices.”
- “Notable projects the practice completed in 2024 were Bank Square, Bank of Ghana in Accra; King Salman Park Visitor Centre in Riyadh; Dot. Ateliers, Ghana; DREAM Charter School in the Bronx, New York.”
