It’s not what you do when people are watching, but what you do when they are not.
The world is constantly evolving so we use every endeavour to keep up to date with technology and use it to our every advantage. We want our people to solve problems before they become problems!
Leave no stone unturned and think about the function of every space and detail – that’s what we drive in to all the creative team at Aura Homes.
Everyone is different – Different needs – Different wants. It is our mission to understand your own circumstances, and find solutions that change your life for the better.
Energy prices are rising and our carbon footprint needs to be reduced. We’ve worked with energy specialists to understand the impacts our proposals have on the environment, and how we can reduce the running costs of your home.
Ben offers technical prowess with an accompanying flair for good design and detailing. He has a Masters Degree in Architectural Engineering, a wealth of experience in property development for schemes ranging from £100,000 to £1bn, and has been a BRE Accredited Professional for Sustainable Eco-design.
