Get the Project Done

Get the Project Done

It’s quite good for the soul to finally deal with the issues of your home that have bugged you for years, yet for some reason just haven’t progressed. Funnily enough, I recently commissioned my own company PF+A with such a scheme, to gain more light and natural ventilation into my master bedroom.

I began the process with my vision in the capable support of PF+A’s creative team. Together, we put forward a proposal for pre-application discussions with Planning to establish any constraints - of which there were plenty given that my house is within a Conservation Area! Following formal submission, a good compromise was approved and PF+A’s technical section made sure the whole thing would stand up, gaining the required ‘Building Licence and Approval of Full Plans’. I was ready to rock!

Following a risk assessment, I put together a team of skilled tradesmen, (plenty of choice there), starting with a scaffolder, carpenter, roofer, plasterer and finally a good decorator. The project has run very smoothly thanks to a happy team with timely progress, quality workmanship and excellent control of costs. The whole family has been impressed with the brilliance of it all.

Anyway, I was thinking, given my new “ Founder “ role for PF+A, what could be done for all the people who have “kicked the can down the road“ for far too long?

We can do it together!

To get yourself a happier house, you can start by calling Pete Falla on 07781 103512 for an informal chat or coffee and get that project done in 2020!

Having been educated and grown up in Guernsey and developing a passion for technical design work, information technology and an intrigue for building design and history during his GCSE years, Oliver decided to commence his career in 1999 as an Architectural Technologist with Lovell Ozanne one of the largest architectural practices in the Channel Islands, During those first inspiring 9 years he gained his BTEC HNC qualification increasing his fundamental experience and developing his knowledge base by working on multi-million pound commercial and residential developments including, Mixed Use and Redevelopment Areas (MURA), offices, apartments and industrial units.

Moving to the States of Guernsey’s Property Services Team in 2008, Oliver was able to learn invaluable working skills and practices, increasing his expanding skillset in tendering and contract administration, whilst having the opportunity to work on public buildings and the differing challenges brought about by these types of projects. These projects encompassed education premises, States buildings with high security requirements, projects at the airport and harbours and fully accessible health facilities. Full Accessibility audits for the health facilities became a prominent project for Oliver as his career progressed and he carried out a number of audits and reports for substantial business within the Island.

Now with a total of 21 years’ experience within the industry, his expansive knowledge not only covers all areas of a very vast field, but includes all aspects of a project from inception right through to the final handover of a completed project; which, for Oliver is the most rewarding experience.

Oliver’s exceptional wealth of knowledge has lead him to gain his chartership with the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists and was formally invited to become an Interview Assessor for the Institute in 2015, a position limited to only a small number and in which someone can only be invited by the Institute. Oliver completed the necessary assessor training a few months later.

Ever striving to continue growing and expanding his professional knowledge, Oliver is a driven member of PF+A and one of the top in his field. With his professional yet friendly approachable nature he is an individual able to facilitate and communicate to clients, contractors, sub-contractors and other third parties to ensure that a project is always the best it can be. Internally an exceptional trainer to the less experienced members of the team with an ease of teaching methods to ensure an unseamingly level of continuity for their development.

In his spare time Oliver enjoys spending time with his young family of three daughters, experiencing travelling and cultural diversity and of course Guernsey’s beautiful outdoor environment.
