Welcome to the Focale Journal

Follow what’s happening at Focale, from progress on site to completed projects and a look at what’s coming next. We’ll share project photos and explain how our team tackles the practical challenges behind each job.

A finished project tells you what was built. Here, we’ll also share what it took to get there.

Meet Max and Billy

Max and Billy are part of the team behind Focale. Our work starts with understanding what the client wants to achieve and what the site will allow. That means talking through practical details early, from access for deliveries to how the work will fit around other trades or an occupied building.

How do we get materials onto a tight site? How do we keep an existing building supported while we make structural changes? How do we sequence our work around other trades so everyone can keep moving? Those are the kinds of details we’ll cover here.

A look at our completed work

At Falcon Works in Barnet, we installed an independent steel frame inside an existing building while bracing the original structure. With no room on site for a crane or to offload deliveries, access shaped how we planned the work.

At Mill Stone Cross in Leicestershire, our work included groundworks, piled foundations and landscaping. The team dealt with difficult ground conditions and a live mains sewer that needed diverting beneath two plots.

You can find more photos and read about both jobs on our Specialist Projects page.

As the journal grows, we’ll share updates from current sites and introduce upcoming projects as they’re ready to announce.
