Waterstreet Construction were regional winners of the Heritage Project category at the FMB South West Master Builder Awards 2017.
They were given the award for an exceptional barn conversion. The antique barn was first planned for full renovation, however a tree growing in it's foundations meant that it was not possible. The team at Waterstreet, however, perservered and knocked the building down, reclaiming most of the original materials from it to construct an entirely new building.

Barn Renovation - Winner of best Heritage Project at the FMB South West Master Builder Awards 2017

  • 17 Jan 2018

Waterstreet Construction initially planned to renovate this historic barn that had been in disrepair for many years, to be used as a holiday letting complex. During the initial work, however, it became apparent that the building could not be saved as a tree was growing in the barn’s foundations. Rather than cancelling the project, however, we decided to build a brand new barn by reclaiming the majority of the stone and timber from the original building.
This project won us the award for best Heritage Project at the FMB South West Master Builder Awards 2017. To read more about the Midland & South West awards, click here.
