Built by Nails is an independent contracting firm specialising in creating bespoke accommodations on a site-by-site basis. By offering complete in-house services, the end product is controlled by a single entity therefore keeping budgets and timelines concise and dependable. From steel fabrication and welding, finished carpentry to tile setting; we keep the focus tight and the value high.
In modern day carpentry there can be a lot of compromises; Cheap materials, unskilled labour, and the list goes on. One thing we’ve never wanted to sidestep was the ethos of doing things correctly. We strive to use responsible, quality materials and provide a design aesthetic that will last past the yearly style trends. A quality product stands on its own, and the workmanship involved should as well. We will never be the lowest bid on a job, as compromising on quality and finish is not in our DNA. If you want a quality product, installed with passion and respect; then we are the right fit for you. We are Nailed to the Craft.
“People seem to be less interested in objects than experiences. And that’s a big shift in the market. And so it’s relatively few people who are thinking in terms of having the very best. There’s often a kind of acceptance of good enough.
Design is about communication. And a certain amount of communication that is run of the mill is fine, but actually in a world where there is more communication you do need to be able to shout and to stand out of line, because that’s actually a raison d’être for an individual. We don’t want to sublimate our identity, so to me it’s really important that there’s an integrity to yourself, whatever that might amount to.
