How we can help

 

Consultancy, Construction, Project Management and Design Services are provided by Sam Atkinson LLP. Contact us or Sam directly (0787 201 2901) to discuss your requirements.

 

If you are considering your own straw bale building Sam Atkinson LLP can provide advice and support from pre-planning right through to the construction phase; ideas, development, reviewing or preparing plans, construction drawings, on site. Even just a few hours of our time could prove very worthwhile. Sam's experience of sourcing and using natural materials is extensive.
