The work
483 photographs straight off the job, sorted by trade. The bigger the word, the more of it I've done. Pick a trade to open its contact sheet.
Built once.
Built properly.
Trained in Germany, tested on an Amsterdam canal. Five years turning a steel tanker into a home will teach you every trade or none; it taught me all of them. I'd rather build a thing once, properly, and I stay on it until the last coat is dry. Amsterdam and Noord-Holland, bigger builds wherever they are.
How it works
-
Look
I come by, walk the space and listen. Money and deadline get talked about first, not last.
-
Draw
You get a drawing you can read, every material named. If it isn't on the plan, you won't be paying for it.
-
Make
I build it myself. With one pair of hands on every step, nothing gets lost between trades.
-
Finish
I snag my own work properly. The last five percent is the job.
