Symm
Kevin Cross's Company Details
Symm has been trading continuously since 1815 and constructed many of the stunning 19th and 20th century buildings in Oxford, nearly all of which survive today. Collaborations with such great architects of the day as Sir George Gilbert Scott resulted in outstanding buildings such as Exeter College Chapel and fine projects at Christ Church Cathedral. The company is renowned for delivering quality over a broad range of skills; specialist and general building, project management, joinery, building services, interiors, cabinetry, and specialist decoration. Symm specialises in the refurbishment of central London townhouses and country properties in southern England and also builds private residences, new high quality collegiate buildings and commercial premises. Today Symm seeks to build to the highest craft standards whether in restricted urban environments, on sensitive rural sites or in and around historic buildings, sustaining and enhancing intrinsic land value. From traditional country cottages to stylish London penthouses, historic national monuments to commercial public buildings, the core of its success is a commitment to upholding the tradition of passing on skills from generation to generation through apprenticeship schemes. Symm retains a substantial directly employed workforce of craftsmen and women and a full training scheme provides a steady supply of talented craft apprentices.
