At Ward and Daughters, we deliver exceptional construction and consultancy services across a wide range of projects. From some of Britain’s most iconic listed buildings to bespoke residences and landmark commercial spaces, we specialise in architecturally ambitious, highly detailed construction schemes that demand precision, innovation, and deep technical expertise.
What truly sets us apart is our ability to find elegant and practical solutions where others cannot. We excel in complexity, whether it’s a challenging site, a heritage constraint, or a bold design that pushes conventional boundaries. We are often brought in to resolve issues that have stalled progress, using our hands-on experience and creative insight to unlock problems and deliver what others said couldn’t be done.
Alongside our construction services, we offer expert planning consultancy and compliance support. From navigating listed building consent and planning policy to ensuring full regulatory compliance, we guide clients through every stage of the process with clarity and confidence.
At every step, our approach is rooted in quality, integrity, and problem-solving. We bring ambitious ideas to life, resolving the challenges, exceeding expectations, and delivering outstanding results on even the most demanding projects.
Every project presents a fresh set of challenges for the construction team, “never done before” and “that’s not how it’s done” are phrases we hear all the time, working out how to overcome a detailed architectural intent within the reality of the built environment is our speciality. Whether it’s a previously constructed issue or a new innovative design brief, we find a way to overcome where others cannot.
We offer comprehensive, end-to-end project management, ensuring smooth, coordinated delivery from initial concept through to final completion. By working closely with clients, architects, and specialist contractors, we ensure every stage is executed with precision, transparency, and control. Our focus is always on delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.
Rather than relying on the traditional main contractor model, we adopt a more agile and efficient approach. We appoint trusted contractors to individual work packages based on their expertise, managing them directly to ensure quality and accountability at every stage. This method allows for greater flexibility, improved craftsmanship, and a significant reduction in overheads typically associated with a tiered procurement structure.
We manage the programme collaboratively using fully transparent cost plans, sequenced via Microsoft Project and administered under the JCT suite of contracts. This structured yet adaptable approach makes it easier to accommodate inevitable variations and design developments, without the inflated costs often seen under conventional models.
Our project management approach is rooted in efficiency, integrity, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results—even on the most demanding schemes.

Unlocking the Development Potential of Land
At Ward and Daughters, we support landowners in realising the full potential of their sites. Whether you own a parcel of land with untapped development value or a more complex site with planning hurdles, our experienced consultancy service is here to guide you through the process.
We offer tailored planning solutions, including the option to part, or fully finance the planning process for viable schemes. In such cases, we work on an agreed share of the overage value upon successful consent—providing a collaborative and low-risk route to unlocking land value.
With long-standing relationships across the architectural and planning professions, we bring strategic insight and a proven track record of navigating challenging planning scenarios. Our particular interest lies in Paragraph 84 and Class Q developments; projects that demand a refined understanding of both policy and design. We work closely with some of the country’s leading specialists in these fields to deliver successful, distinctive outcomes across the UK.
