Blue Tit

Project Details

Innovative Design

This house, Project Blue tit, perched high in the Surrey Hills, represents the most technically demanding and ambitious undertaking by Compass Construction to date. In close collaboration with our clients, Mitchell Evans Architects, and the Gunter and Co. design team, we reimagined the original property to breathe new life into the structure.

Work Scope as main contractor:

The transformation began by stripping the house back to its original studs, allowing for a complete reconfiguration of the space. Key architectural features were repositioned, including the sweeping staircase, which became a central focal point of the new design. Curved walls and doorways were introduced, adding both elegance and a sense of flow throughout the interior.

Recognition
The renovation was executed to an exceptional standard, resulting in a home that stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship and innovative design. This achievement was recognised in the March 2026 issue of Homes and Garden, where the project was prominently featured.

When embarking on building our own home journey we knew we needed a professional and highly regarded main contractor.

St Anns

We heard about Compass Construction as they had recently completed a couple of new build houses in our road. They looked good and we managed to take a look round them so we knew the high quality Compass produced. They were also recommended to us by a neighbour as a good company to work with.

The Hus

We chose Compass out of four bidders to build our new contemporary home. The quotes were similar but we chose them because we could tell we would get on well with Steve and Richard, the owners.

King Georges Cottage

They are excellent with a very professional but easy to get on with attitude and an eye for detail and quality. We did an almost full knockdown then rebuild of a brick and stone house in the heart of the Surrey Hills and they did a beautiful job; on time, on budget and not one argument or problem that was not immediately sorted.
