30 years of graft across all aspects of the building industry, with long established roots in The Lakes and North Lancashire, we have grown an extensive network of local trades, professional bodies, consultants and essential resources.
We love to champion and work with our many trusted trade and crafts people across the region – from seamstresses to structural engineers, our trusted network collaborate with us to realise your true one-off home.
Roger Hughes – Director / founder has been known to friends as ROJ for a long time. To be on point and snappy, the company name came to mind.
Roger worked for over 20 years in all aspects of residential development for the family business – Robert Hughes Limited. Specialising in the creative re-purposing of select brown field sites into desirable residential properties, his role was to lead the design team and project manage multiple building sites, supporting up to 150 tradespeople.
Projects included conversions of multiple farms and barns, Victorian hotels and Arts & Crafts country houses, building ‘big one offs’ and 40 new-build lake side apartments.
When the markets slowed in the late 2000s, Roger picked up the tools and worked alongside a select set of local craftsmen, picking up the tricks and perfecting the skill sets. Enhancing the vision for what is practically achievable and driving ideas further by design and creativity
In 2015 we were back developing brown field sites again. Taking on one at a time with low overheads and a dedicated sub-contracted trades team. By 2022 Robert Hughes Limited achieved record sale values on its ultimate residential development and Robert looked towards retirement.
Lack of local development opportunity and market forces naturally lead us to become a building contractor. Offering clients a unique opportunity to boldly re-create their space and place.
We are posting our projects as they develop on our Instagram and LinkedIn pages, so please follow along.
