How we work
Our Ethos, Values & Outlook

Ethos

Over recent years we have become increasingly frustrated by observing property advice and planning submissions which seem to ignore other legislative requirements or which fail to make the best use of opportunities available...

Cutting corners and doing things on the cheap is almost always 'false economy'.  So, we focus our energy on a "right first time" approach based on an apparently simple maxim;
Well designed = Fit for purpose

Values

Loyalty
Open-mindedness
Honesty
Innovation & Creativity
Optimism
Perseverance

Outlook

Bondstones exists to grow, expand, improve and, ultimately, to create a legacy.  

To do this we aim to create mutual success... for our clients, our team and our business.

That said, we pride ourselves on providing a valuable service which provides benefits to our clients first - and puts our interests second.  This means that our team will give advice to suit our clients' needs above our own.

We don't generally advise on Urban Planning matters (there are plenty of specialists in this area of work) - essentially as long as your site / property is surrounded by fields and hedges we're happy to help!

Regulated by THe Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors

Bondstones is a regulated firm of Chartered Surveyors - specialising in "Town & Country Planning" (emphasis on "country"!) and Architectural Design.  Our head-office is based in the West-Country and we typically work in the geographical area between Lands End and London.  However, on occasion, we also work further afield...

We are extremely proud to be 'Regulated by the RICS' - this means we are a professionally qualified and regulated practice - bound by a code of conduct, strict rules and regulations. This means that we will only undertake work which is directly within our field(s) of expertise and that we are also fully insured (both Professional Indemnity and Public / Employers Liability).

Our team are passionate about architecture and the countryside, its' sustainable future and re-use of rural buildings:  We offer our professional expertise to satisfy a range of rural property issues, including (but not limited to) Planning Consultancy and Architectural Design / Architecture.  Our primary interest is in the delivery of sustainable projects - and particularly the 'change of use' of buildings & land.

Despite our cutting edge offer and market leading output quality, our services are available to all of our customers at surprisingly low rates - especially compared to our competitors.  OK, its true to say you will always find someone cheaper... but isn't that always the way!

Our philosophy is to provide objective advice from the outset - indeed may of our new clients are amazed at the level of advice that we offer at first contact... Our overriding mission is to "quote high and bill low - providing valuable advice and exceptional design - which should delight our clients at every opportunity"

We generally undertake work for:
  • Farmers & Farm Businesses
  • Rural Estates / Estate Managers
  • Equestrian Properties & Businesses
  • Home / Property Owners*
  • Tourism Entrepreneurs
  • Countryside Attractions & Recreation Sites

* Please note that 'small' extensions are not really our cup of tea... However if necessary we would be happy to refer you to a suitable 3rd party specialist.

That said, large, unique extensions and complete 'one off' domestic overhauls really do float our boat... so please get in touch!
