Quality, sustainability, flexible living and homes for life

Dovetail Living has the benefit of working directly alongside an established architects practice, AK Architects Ltd. As part of this, we have formulated a low energy custom build and modular housing delivery model, which can be adapted to each site with assured cost outcomes after site abnormal costs.

We have framework arrangements in place with exceptional consultancy businesses based in the south-west – planning, technical (highways, infrastructure design, M&E), environmental (ecology & landscape), cost consultants, and mortgage providers.

Our key themes running through all of the projects we work on are quality, sustainability, flexible living and homes for life, and utilising  modern methods of construction to achieve the best outcomes.
