1. When was Insides established – and who’s behind it?

Insides was established in 2005, and has grown steadily in size and expertise since that time. Insides is owned and run by Robert Brown and Richard Harrison.

2. What’s the average duration of an Insides project, from the initial consultation through to the post-construction stage?

The average duration of an Insides project depends on the size and scope of a project.

A small domestic project can be completed in a couple of months, but a large commercial project may be on site for over a year. We will produce a bespoke programme for each project outlining key dates and indicating the overall project duration.

If planning is required for a project, a statutory 8 week planning period is also factored into the total project duration.

We take care to recycle or reuse as much material as possible and refuse to use any timber other than that accredited by the FSC.
