Habitar HQ Relocation

Starting 1st September 2019 Habitar will be relocating its trading address to our new location in central Oxford at the Oxford Centre for Innovation OCFI.

Despite the Centre being dedicated to science and tech innovation companies, our advanced use of technology within the design processes has opened up the opportunity for us to join this prestigious address.

We will soon have access to cutting edge technology such us 3D printing and virtual reality, to widen our field for concept design + presentation techniques and provide our clients with additional ways of visualising their projects.

Our new address: Oxford Centre for Innovation, New Road, Oxford, OX1 1BY

On Track for Successful Project Completion for Client in Singapore

The new year brought the contractor to site for the start on the internal alterations and general renovations of one of our latest domestic jobs in Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire.  The house is owned by international clients currently living in Singapore. The contractors are now halfway through, and well on the way to successfully completing on time for the client’s exciting move back to the UK and into their new home this coming June. We are carrying out contract management duties and preparing weekly reports to keep our long-distance clients well informed and in the know of any eventualities so far.

Loft Conversion Gets Under Way

A perfect sunny day gives way to the first site visit on our loft conversion job at Southdale Rd, North Oxford.  Contractors Clangalah Construction Ltd are now in charge of delivering construction.  We will be keeping track of progress over the next 12 weeks.

Replacement Dwelling Planning Consent Secured

We have just secured full planning consent from the Vale of White Horse District Council on behalf of our client for a brand new four bedroom dwelling in the historic town of Sutton Courtenay, Oxon.  We will continue providing professional services for the detail design and construction stages, until the completion of the new property.

New Membership

Diego is now a member of the Association for Project Safety in order to strengthen the implementation of health and safety on projects at pre-construction phase, but also to help more actively contractors on site at construction stage.

 

This, in turn with the Principal Designer role we now offer to our clients as integral part of our holistic services…Safety first!

New Login portal

In order to improve our client’s experience we have updated  the way they are able to access project related information. From now on, they will be using the new Login portal which is available via our website’s Practice section.  We are doing away with password protected pages and requesting an email address to download information.  We will provide each client with a unique Username and a Password for accessing the published project packages in a much streamlined and personalised way.

 

Making project information available whenever needed to clients and the wider project team is a part of the add-on features they are entitled to enjoy when becoming our clients.  We know that electronic communications and email information are vital in today’s fast moving world.  On the other hand, when it comes to sharing important documents, large amount of data or drawings, email attachments are not reliable. Therefore, by using the client portal we make sure clients are able to find this vital information easily, reliably and 24/7. Thus, no need to browse through hundreds of emails in your inbox to find the latest set of drawings -simply find them a few clicks away on our online portal!

 

We will keep published information available from publication until the end of the project’s rectification period.
