About Me
Hi, I'm Sarah Burns. I live in Harrogate with my husband and 2 sons following a move north from London in 2013.
With over 25 years of experience in the construction industry, I bring a rare combination of creative design insight and delivery expertise to every project.
Having worked extensively as both a Chartered Architect and a Project Manager, I've developed a deep, practical understanding of how successful projects are planned, managed and delivered, and how to bring the right people together to deliver a successful outcome.​ ​​​​
My Experience
d supporting you from start to finish.
I have worked across a diverse range of projects, including retail units, commercial offices, residential, healthcare facilities, museums, schools, universities, and performance spaces. This experience spans heritage refurbishments, renovations, and new-build developments, allowing me to confidently guide clients through each stage of the process and ensure projects are delivered smoothly.
Many of my recent projects have been highly complex healthcare refurbishments, often involving major building services installations and undertaken within live hospital environments. These schemes required extensive planning, coordination, and detailed preparation well before construction commenced. I bring the same level of care, diligence, and attention to detail to every project I manage, regardless of scale.
I have a strong understanding of building contracts and ensure that all parties are clear on their roles and responsibilities. I also take time to explain your obligations as a client in a straightforward, transparent way, supporting you throughout the process so there are no unexpected surprises.
With a background in design, I am naturally hands-on and detail-driven. I don’t simply manage projects at a high level, I closely review every element to ensure it contributes to the best possible outcome, from overall strategy through to the final finishes. Clear communication, thoughtful planning, and high standards underpin everything I do, and I take pride in delivering results that exceed expectations.
Whether you are a homeowner creating a space you love, a property investor preparing a property for sale or letting, or a retailer fitting out new premises, I am committed to guiding you, protecting your interests, and supporting you from start to finish.
