Des Ewing is probably the most renowned architect of our generation in NI and the principle judge on the NI House of the Year programme amongst other appearances. I did make enquiries having seen some of his work but not being aware of his status and was therefore left suitably embarrassed when his quotation started at over four times that of the architects we did use.

I may have only discussed Heron's U values on the phone, but thought they were mentioned if you downloaded individual product brochures. That's all somewhat immaterial now though as I don't suffer laziness or inconsideration gladly.
