Hallstile Bank Chimney Collapse Update

We had hoped to share an update sooner, as it had appeared that we were close to confirming a start date for works on site. However, progress has been affected by a number of factors outside of our direct control. We fully appreciate that this situation is far from ideal for all those affected. Please […]

Another Planning Approval!

This project involved alterations to an existing property, enabling the clients to enjoy their retirement with a sea view. It certainly wasn’t a straightforward journey, requiring several rounds of amendments, but we’re delighted to have reached a solution the client is truly happy with, well done Jessica N. Also, many thanks to Tony Carter MSc […]

Architectural Team has invested in a Scanner

This technology allows buildings to be surveyed quickly and accurately, with the data then converted into detailed 3D models using Revit. Previously, our in-house land surveyors (AMR Geomatics) carried out all laser scanning work. They will still play a key role on larger and more complex projects, however, because many of Crawford Higgins Associates’ commissions […]

Every milestone matters, no matter the scale.

What may be a small project to some is often a significant achievement for our client – and that means it’s just as important to us. Recently, we were very pleased to secure planning permission for a replacement porch.  

Good design doesn’t replace history — it works with it

We’re pleased to see progress in Whitley Bay on this nine-unit residential scheme, combining the conversion of the former Old Police Station / Welch’s sweet factory site with carefully considered new-build elements. Projects like this reflect our commitment to thoughtful, heritage-led regeneration — respecting existing fabric while creating high-quality homes for the future. These images […]
