St Helier Methodist Centre - refurbishment and new community hall
The existing church, built in 1847, was lovingly restored including the creation of a new creche. The overall aim of the project was to consolidate the original Wesley Grove Methodist Church and the erstwhile Aquila Methodist Centre. This was achieved with the construction of a new community hall linked to the existing church. The contemporary design of which sits in juxtaposition to the original facade.

This page contains documentation explaining our work processes. The aim of which is to give you a concise framework of guidelines to the legislatorial and practice processes which we follow. Each Project is different and carries its own inherent nuances, but we hope that these guidelines will give you valuable insight when planning your own project with the processes and time periods involved. The Building Industry, as with most others, has its own unique modus operandi which we will endeavour to guide you through.
