We continue to develop the best client focused, innovative, collaborative, ideas, design and architecture business possible. It had been discussed last year that we will be seek- ing out an even higher standard of craftsmanship, which we now have created alongside cultivating relationships to facilitate this. Also, as our profile has increased, so has our ambition, so we will continue shoring this up, with the best craftsperson out there and this will pay dividend for both us and the clients.” “Additionally, we prize collaborative work processes, as well as allowing all working styles and thought processes, of every team member, to shape and influence the direction of the companies work.

E Looking ahead, Immanuel signs off by envisioning what the future holds for the firm following their success in BUILD’s 2018 BUILD Awards where they were righteously awarded the accolade Architect of the Year: Surrey. “Outsourcing! How can extra resources help us achieve more day to day and in much more long-term strategy? It is a key thing that we have discovered in an effort to create more time to develop the business and more importantly develop each team members aspirations. Talking through and exploring ways of management that can reduce the cost of construction and create increased quality benchmarks, whilst still allow- ing creativity to flourish at a value favourable to the client.” “BUILD bestowed an award on us in 2015 and that has been a keystone in developing an award winning business that aims to excel and exceed for the client, collaborators and team members. Then, we were honoured to receive two for our work in 2016 alongside a clutch of others. We began 2017, once again, on winning ways and would like to thank BUILD for initially giving us both the honour and recognition that we have needed to be inspired to continue producing the best work we can. Here is to continuing our award winning pedigree into the future. Eight inde- pendently verified awards in 2018 is a testament to the quality of work produced by the very talented and valued team of Ernest Tsui Architects + Partners.” Contact Name: Immanuel Gaskin Address: 25 Maidenshaw Road, Epsom, Surrey, United Kingdom, KT19 8HE Telephone: 07957 650451 Website: www.ernesttsui-architects.co.uk
