Brief History

Oakman Architecture was formed in 2012 by Nigel Coleman and Benjamin Smith to create a transparent, reliable, client focused and professional firm offering Architectural and Surveyor services to the Commercial and Residential property markets.

Previously working together as colleagues on various projects at a prestigious London practice, they realised that they could offer a practical, no nonsense approach to the industry that clients often sought. Both coming from families of joiners and builders and having grown up around building sites, they understood that transferring this knowledge into practical design would ensure successful projects for their clients.

The business now offers full in-house design and project management services covering inception through to build completion. Our ethos is to provide an efficient service that focuses on a balance of design and investment gains. We apply a professional work ethic and take care to ensure that our services are consistently provided to the highest standard.
