Cost and value analysis
The financial case for your project, from build-cost estimates by ornament level to the evidence on value.
Most developers who are curious about traditional design ask the same first question: what will it cost, and will it pay? This service answers it for your site, with figures an investor can check.
Build-cost estimates by ornament level. You see what each step up the Ornament Scale adds to the cost, and you decide where it is worth it.
The evidence on value. The published research on prices and public support, with its sources and caveats, applied honestly to your market.
Planning arguments. The public and neighbour support for traditional design, and the certainty that a design code can give.
We never quote a figure we cannot source. The research on traditional design is correlational, and some of it cuts against easy claims, so we show you that too. A case that survives a sceptical surveyor is worth more than one that only sounds good.
Traditional building is often dismissed as unaffordable before anyone has done the arithmetic. We do the arithmetic, and we look for the most cost-effective way to build beautifully.
