PRIDE MONTH:
When we completed our very first project in 2016, Ely Pride was in its first rumblings of existence, and desperately required funding. We donated 100% of the profits from our first project to Ely Pride.

Later that year the city celebrated it's first ever Pride event, and history was made.

(Our Directors band For the Hornets also headlined the event!)

This weekend's A.I. monstrosity comes courtesy of a brickwork company.

It's a post about brick dimensions - where almost all of the dimensions are wrong! 75mm between joints? 65mm deep bricks? What does that other 75mm relate to?

Can you imagine being an MD of a brickwork company and letting this go out as your 'shop window' to the world.

If this is their quality level, can you imagine what they produce on site?

If there's one argument against AI it's posts like this.
At a glance it's a detail. BUT there's so much wrong with it!

1. The key doesn't relate to the materials
2. The roof membrane is dressed BEHIND the gutter membrane (guiding water straight into the building)
3. Cold bridge heaven, everywhere
4. Where's the fascia?
5. Where's the fillet raising the last tile?
6. Where's the fascia?
7. Where's th*****ng on the outside of the coping.

There's just more and more the more you look.

LEASE hire a human professional. It's cheaper than trying to sort this monstrosity out.

Cambridge Architectural Design will NEVER use AI generated content in its designs.

Another survey to start the week!

This four bed detached will be getting an uber contemporary zinc extension very soon!

A survey is so much more than measuring, it’s about experiencing each space: where does the light fall? Where are the glimpses of trees?

Another weekend another survey... Which means another EXCITING project! We're now averaging more than one new project pe...
