🗓️ Friday Diary of a Managing Director 👷🏼‍♂️

5:00am – Hit the gym. It gives me a clear head and sets me up for a productive day.

6:30am – Back to the office. Wrote the job list for the day and reviewed a new project tender.

7:15am – At Covers picking up materials for our Southsea project.

8:00am – Visited the Southsea project to deliver materials, ensure work was up to date and completed to a high standard, and prepare a cutting list for next week’s work.

9:30am – Drove to Fareham to clear down a project, create a snagging list for the remaining finishing touches, and help the lads load up the truck as the project enters its final stages. Checked in with the client and apologised for a delay in the works.

The delay has been caused by a manufacturing fault with the bifold doors. The paint finish suffered from “tiger striping” after being dried too quickly during production.

11:30am – Visited our Portchester project to check progress, provide further details to the team, and check in with the client to ensure they were happy with everything. Dormers were the main focus of today’s work.

12:30pm – Lunch in the van.

1:00pm – Visited a new lead in Swanwick to meet a potential client and gather information for a quotation.

Called the architect to help move the quotation forward and discussed plans relating to building regulations.

2:30pm – Back to the Portchester project to help the lads get the steels into position.

Dormers ✅
Steels ✅

Regrettably ate a doughnut from the famous Soothills, kindly gifted to me by one of the lads.

3:45pm – Visited Howdens to revise a kitchen design for a flood-damage project in North End.

4:15pm – Back to the office to make 100 phone calls, reply to emails and check that everyone has been paid correctly for the week.

5:00pm – Finished work… I hope.

A fairly packed day, but by construction standards, a relatively easy one. No major surprises, no emergencies, and only one doughnut consumed. I’ll take that as a win.

Progress update! 🏡 - Portchester loft conversion

The pitched roof is now complete and the project is really starting to take shape.

After the steels have been fabricated the dormers will be built, which will add even more space, light and character to the build.

The cover over scaffold allows for the work to continue rain or shine 🔨 🏠

We’ve realised that over the years we’ve spent far more time focused on delivering projects on site than we have keeping up with social media.

Truthfully, social media has never been something we’ve prioritised massively. All of our time has gone into managing projects, maintaining standards on site, and making sure our clients receive the level of workmanship and communication we pride ourselves on.

But we also know people now like to see more of the process behind the work, not just the finished result.

So moving forward, we’re going to make more of an effort to share what goes on behind the scenes at Acorn Valley Ltd, including:

• Project progress updates
• Behind-the-scenes construction work
• Our approach to project management
• Tips, advice, and how we work

We have some great projects on the go in Porchester, Fareham, Southsea snd Emsworth with more coming up, we look forward to sharing our progress.

Thank you to all our past and current clients for trusting us with your projects.
