Case studies

What taking ownership actually looks like.

Selected case studies from recent Fisher & Brougham engagements across homes and businesses. The brief, the work we take on, and the results delivered.

F&B Home

Kitchen renovation managed around a working household

The brief

A family required a full kitchen refit but had limited availability during the working week to source trades, compare quotations or supervise on site works.

What we did

  • Developed the project brief and obtained three comparable quotations
  • Appointed and scheduled the kitchen fitter, electrician, plumber and decorator
  • Managed site access, material deliveries and the weekly programme
  • Tracked expenditure against the agreed budget and completed the snagging list

The result

A single point of contact for the client, a fully documented budget, and a completed kitchen signed off without the household losing working days.

F&B Home

End to end residential relocation

The brief

A couple relocating to a new property with a short completion window needed the move planned, packed and switched over without disruption to their daily routine.

What we did

  • Decluttered the property room by room and arranged donations and disposal
  • Booked and briefed removals, storage and cleaning suppliers
  • Transferred utilities, broadband, deliveries and address records
  • Scheduled trades ahead of arrival so the new home was functional on day one

The result

A single move plan with owners and dates assigned to every task, and a household that was operational the evening of arrival.

F&B Business

Office relocation for an owner managed business

The brief

A growing firm needed to relocate premises without a dedicated project manager and without interrupting trading days.

What we did

  • Prepared the move plan, budget and supplier shortlist
  • Coordinated fit out, IT, telecoms and furniture installation
  • Sequenced the physical move outside core trading hours
  • Managed address updates, insurers and post-move snagging

The result

The business traded throughout the move with a clear plan, one owner of the schedule, and no permanent hire required.

F&B Business

Operational knowledge captured as documented process

The brief

An owner held the majority of operational knowledge personally, which restricted delegation, holiday cover and the onboarding of new staff.

What we did

  • Mapped the core client and administrative workflows
  • Wrote standard operating procedures, checklists and templates for the team
  • Reorganised shared filing and task management systems
  • Delivered a handover session and a review after first use

The result

Repeatable processes the team can run independently of the owner, and a clear structure for onboarding new staff.

F&B Business

Ongoing retainer support alongside a small team

The brief

A business required consistent organisational capacity but did not need another full time employee.

What we did

  • Agreed a monthly retainer with a defined hours allocation
  • Managed supplier reviews, project trackers and deadline oversight
  • Held a standing weekly check-in and issued a written progress summary
  • Absorbed ad-hoc projects into the same arrangement

The result

Predictable cost, steady progress on work that had previously slipped, and no additional headcount.
