Ben began his career working on house extensions and new build properties in rural Sussex before moving onto a variety of commercial house building projects. Having built a solid foundation and skillset Ben then moved to the West Midlands where his work diversified to include large scale commercial developments, notably the Etruria Office village, shopping/cinema complexes and supermarkets.

In 2010 Ben setup his own practice to concentrate on commercial premises, domestic new builds and extensions.
