Led by Jonathan Ross, Director, The Relph Ross Partnership Ltd is a small team dedicated to excellence in every sense and takes particular interest in ensuring we understand a client’s brief and what is involved in undertaking such work and a client’s ambitions for their project. We take time to communicate with a client on an ongoing basis and offer solutions, advice and alternatives to ensure the result is as they wish. Alterations to an existing property or undertaking a new build is often a once-in-a-lifetime project, resulting in a lot of ‘firsts’. We are there with the client, guiding them through specialist consultant/ report requirements, the Planning process or appointing a contractor.
