We
are a design and building company integrating architectural
design, planning applications, structural design and calculations
and construction. We have worked throughout the Cotswolds
for more than 20 years with literally hundreds of successfully
completed projects. All projects are overseen at every stage
of the process by Terry Doran personally. Diverse residential
properties both period and contemporary have undergone remodelling,
extension, restoration and refurbishment as well as our construction
of new individual houses. Our strength lies in our commitment
in producing sympathetic designs to suit the individual property
& client, also in our creativity & flexibility during
both design & construction phases. In particular our forte
has been in solving spatial conundrums, creating a natural
flow to living spaces. With their understanding of the use
of space & an eye for the visual Doran Design & Build
achieve a balance between functionality & aesthetic appeal.

Terry Doran is the director of the company & has 30 years
experience in Design and Construction. He has completed literally
hundreds of successful projects within the Cotswolds and in
Portugal. Terry has a BA honours degree specializing in postmodern
architecture, environmental management & cultural politics.
Terry works extremely hard in creating sustainable personalized
designs giving the utmost attention to detail whether it be
in the restoration of period property or in creating original
contemporary designs. His team have a strong work ethic &
have the ability to complete projects on time & within
a competitive budget. Terry is very much a people person &
in particular devotes much time at all phases of the process
in consultation with clients and co-ordinating the team. His
main role is as architectural designer & project manager.

From design concept to construction completion our integrated
approach to building projects has time and again proved a
successful business model. So often building projects become
fragmented using the traditional way of separate architect
builder etc.. With architect designer engineer project manager
craftsmen all under one roof project co-ordination, efficiency,
and quality all benefit. Importantly we engage in a partnership
with clients openly encouraging them to become involved &
contribute in the design process. Success has brought nominations
for restoration awards & attracted coverage in Country
Living Period Living Period Homes & Individual Homes Magazine
etc.
