Hi, I am Dudley Radford.
Our design studio has partnered with over 150 home and landowners to translate ideas into built spaces that balance both beauty and function.
We aim to merge the best design thinking with a deep technical expertise, ensuring each project meets rigorous standards and reflects our client’s unique vision.
Alongside our design development, we have licenced build partners who will aim to work with your budget and ensure that the building reflects the Hutsmith design and finish.

Process
01
Design development
We collaborate closely with you to shape a space that responds to your site and lifestyle. We charge £90 for an onsite survey (refundable upon sale) and £295 for the design development work. Examples of which can be seen in our portfolio.

Design Sign off
Continuous iterations, including final render and video presentations. Planning permission support, if required. Contract sign off. A 50% deposit activates the project and we ask for 40% once the on-site start date has been agreed, with 10% paid upon completion.
03
On-Site
With great client access, we build the entire structure in our workshop and drop the cabins onto site. If access is tricky, we build modular wall sections and complete on-site. Our projects take anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 weeks depending on scale and complexity.

Post Occupancy
We would closely with clients throughout the building and make sure that on the day of competion, the client is happy to sign off with no outstanding snags. Upon the payment fo the final 10% we hand over the warranty, documents
