An Update From Our MD - Kenneth Martin

Right, 10 minutes to go before the next episode of Grand Designs so thought I would give this quick update.

So many things going on now with Block Architects particularly now that we are heading towards the Christmas Shut Down. I'm sure Gordon White of fatBuzz will not want me mentioning Christmas so I did just to anoy him... (He'll probably go in and edit that bit!!!

Anyway, Christmas is approaching fast and as it does, we find ourselves in that position where the work load increases and the time left to do it in is decreases. Don't worry though we always get things done!

Between now and December we are looking at Building Warrants for 3 new bespoke houses, 3 self builds on site for site inspection already with another due to start next week in Hamilton and 1 more to go in for planning before Christmas. Multiple house alterations and extensions are at various stages and we have a dentist surgery on site in Burnbank Hamilton. We also have a secret project that we cannot talk about yet but hey, it's a belter as they say!

Today we were told that we had achieved planning approval for 2 house plots for the Celtic FC Legend Mr Bertie Auld. A great result! When I told him today you would think that he had scored a goal!!!

I must also thank Bertie at this point for arranging a signed football top for a charity fundraiser for The Beatson in Glasgow. My dear friend and former colleague Jon-Marc Creaney is fighting Cancer and Lanarkshire Business Group did a fundraiser last weekend where they raised in excess of £4000. WELL DONE!!!!

Well that's as much as I can write in 10 min as the Grand Designs theme tune has started.

Finally, we will record another #blockpodcast No 4 before Christmas so watch out for this and please do listen in.
