SPECIALIST PROJECTS

With a team of specialists, RHS Developments takes a holistic approach to deliver wide-ranging construction projects

Imagine taking a simple construction idea or drawing and turning it into reality. That’s what RHS Developments do. Your idea could be your dream home, a major refurbishment project or a complete refitting of a pub or restaurant.

RHS Developments have the creativity and in-house expertise to deliver your project from inception right through to handing you the keys of a completed development.

This involves utilising the specialist skills of the RHS Developments team, producing architect’s drawings and commissioning surveys, sorting out all of your utilities and helping you select and install your new furniture.

Established in 2015 by Scott Stephenson, the business has thrived in recent years with inspiring projects throughout the Ribble Valley. With a background in construction and expertise in listed buildings and conservation sites, Scott is able to deliver a totally holistic service to his clients.

In 2019 Elliott Hodgkinson joined Scott as his business partner following 13 years at Laing O’Rourke. His experience with new builds, residentials tower blocks, refurbishments of Grade II* listed buildings and football stadiums added another dimension to the expanding business.

The success of RHS Developments can be partly attributed to the project management skills of the team, which are critical for delivering projects on time and within budget. Anyone who has dealt with a building development or refurbishment will fully appreciate the complexities of finding the right experts and managing all the different elements.

Managing a complete development in-house is rather unique, but it gives the client the ability to have total control right from the start. Each assignment is managed by a dedicated Project Manager along with experts ranging from interior designers to utility consultants or even tree surgeons.

Scott and Elliott thrive on delivering multi-faceted developments: “We love large complex projects as that is where our expertise lies. Plans and timescales are agreed right from the start so that everyone is aware of what they are working towards. We work very closely with clients, advising them throughout the whole process and always being on hand to answer questions or resolve any issues.”

RHS Developments have delivered many sizeable projects in prestigious private homes throughout Lancashire. With Scott and Elliott’s knowledge of historic buildings, they understand the complexities and challenges faced with these types of projects and are therefore able to provide a team of specialists who can see the development through successfully.

One recent commercial project included the tremendous Coach & Horses in Bolton-by-Bowland – a major refurbishment project which included revamping seven guest bedrooms with en-suites, a stunning new restaurant, new bar areas plus a new kitchen. This involved everything from developing design concepts through to working with furniture and lighting suppliers.

The team also completed the refurbishment of the fabulous Freemasons at Wiswell, delivering a bespoke four-bedroom renovation, plus a rear extension to enable guests to sit with the chef and watch their meals being prepared, something which has proved incredibly successful for the Freemasons.

The ethos of RHS Developments is to invest in their team to enable them to deliver exceptional customer service to their clients. The established team is extremely loyal and committed, many of who have been with the company right from the start while others have joined during recent years to add to the ever-increasing skillset. The culture is one of work-life balance where staff are taken care of and rewarded for their hard work and commitment.

The team contains experts in a number of keys areas such as architects, interior designers, utility consultants, structural engineers, landscaping, mechanical and electrical plus bespoke furniture specialists, who have delivered projects for many years.

The combination of Covid and Brexit has certainly contributed to the challenges faced by the construction industry over the past year, resulting in a shortage of materials and a major hike in prices. RHS have used these challenges as an opportunity to streamline processes and systems and deliver a more enhanced service to clients.

So, if you’re looking at a development project upwards of £100,000 the team at RHS Developments is absolutely perfect for you. They will manage the whole process leaving you with a completed development of which you’ll be incredibly proud.
