Innovators in Design & Build

INSIDE CREATIVE PROJECT SERVICES LTD:

The Boutique company Blending Precision, Ethics & Design Excellence

At the intersection of architecture, construction, and creativity is Creative Project Services Ltd, a design and build company that’s redefining what it means to deliver a truly tailored client experience.

Founded by Elliot Wakeford, Creative Project Services is anything but conventional. From its tightly focused project roster to its financially focused , sustainability mindset, the company has carved out a space for itself by being small on purpose – and big on results.

“We’re not trying to be the biggest,” says Elliot. “We’re trying to be the best at what we do.”

A TAILORED APPROACH TO EVERY PROJECT

Unlike many companies that stretch their teams thin, Creative has taken a deliberate approach: fewer projects, executed flawlessly.

From the first feasibility study to the final build phase, the company manages every detail. With in-house experts across planning, architecture, construction, health & safety, and project management, Creative offers a seamless turnkey solution—backed by robust communication at every step.

Clients are invited into the creative process through immersive tools like 3D visualisations, mood boards, and coloured architectural plans, making it easier than ever to visualise their dream space.

DESIGN WITH INTEGRITY, BUILD WITH PURPOSE

Creative Project Services stands out not just for what it builds – but how it builds. Fully compliant with HSE regulations, the firm also champions sustainability in every project.

That includes working with environmentally responsible materials and sourcing from suppliers with proven green practices. In 2022, this vision earned the company the Build – Sustainability Building Award, recognising both innovation and integrity in their work. They have since gone on to win two further awards in 2023 and 2024 for Best Architectural Design & Build works.

“We always ask ourselves: does this add value to the home and to the homeowner’s life?” says Elliot. That’s our compass.”

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

Looking ahead, Creative is staying true to what built its name: craftsmanship, communication, and care.

“We want to keep doing beautiful work for great clients,” Elliot shares. “It’s taken time and trust to build this reputation—and we honour that with every new project.”

With a strong foundation, a clear ethical stance, and a client focused philosophy, Creative Project Services Ltd is proving that boutique can still mean big impact.

WELCOME TO ASCOT

Ascot is one of Berkshire’s most prestigious addresses – an elegant town wrapped in timeless charm, with a reputation that reaches well beyond its leafy borders.

Held each June under the patronage of the Royal Family, Royal Ascot is more than a sporting event – it’s an occasion of

living comes naturally – where world-class racing, elegant dining and timeless tradition meet.”

And when it comes to dining and entertainment, Ascot delivers in spades.

From Michelin-starred kitchens to elegant country house hotels and stylish pubs, Ascot offers something to suit every discerning palate. You’ll find details about Bluebells and Woven on pages 1819 but here are a few more local highlights...

DON’T LET INSURANCE GET IN THE WAY OF

Purchasing Your Dream Property

In our experience, buyers often leave insurance to the last minute when purchasing a new home, as they assume arranging it will be easy. And often, they aren’t aware that risk typically passes at the exchange of contracts, and this is when insurance should be in place. There are also all sorts of things that can trip you up and leave you without the right level of cover that you need, when you need it.

COVER AT POINT OF EXCHANGE

There are lots of potential insurance complications that can derail what seems like a straightforward sale, from a non-standard property to a property with an adverse prior history of subsidence or flooding, to an indemnity issue causing problems. And if you can’t find cover, it may adversely affect the property purchase. By speaking to a specialist insurance broker like Howden as early as possible in the buying process, you can make sure that insurance is not a barrier to purchase and that you’re all set to go on the date of exchange.

CONTENTS INSURANCE

One thing that is easy to overlook is your contents insurance during the move. Most policies will provide some level of cover but there could be limits, such as restricting the total value of items covered or what is covered – for example jewellery might be excluded. There may also be a time limit or complete exclusion for contents being kept in storage.

Alternatively, if you’re using a removals company you may be tempted to rely on their cover. However, check the small print as it may be limited, and should you wish to top up, it could prove expensive.

PLANNED BUILDING WORKS

If you’re planning to renovate, convert or extend your new property, remember to let your insurance company know. Insurance policies have a building works condition written into the wording, and if you break this condition, you could find yourself without any cover.

Larger scale works, especially if you’re not living at the property, may require an additional specialist policy.

Building works insurance can be a minefield and it’s easy to find yourself lost in a myriad of terms and conditions. That’s why you should speak to a specialist broker like Howden. We’ll translate policy wordings, explain any detail you might be unsure of and, most importantly, make sure that you have the right level of cover in place.

Remember that once you’ve finished the works, you’ll need to review your sums insured. Failure to increase them upon completion of the building work could result in your home being significantly underinsured.

INSURANCE WITH HOWDEN

Providing advice is at the heart of everything we do, so we always offer clear, sensible and independent advice about what our clients should insure and how, so you can be confident in the event of a claim. To that end, we’ll always check the small print and offer guidance on any limits and exclusions. And we’ll offer transparency and clear communication throughout the claims process.

Few green spaces in the country can match the scale, splendour and heritage of Windsor Great Park.

In the competitive world of premium property, first impressions count. MAiSON partners with Skyshot Global, a leading UK-based photography and videography studio, to ensure every home is presented at its very best. Headed up by founder Nick Ayliffe, Skyshot Global specialises in highend architectural and aerial

imagery, creating striking visual content that resonates with discerning buyers.

“Our aim is always to capture the essence of a home – its style, setting and personality – in a way that immediately engages,” says Nick. “We want buyers to fall in love with a property before they even step through the door.”

Using cutting-edge equipment, including drone technology, Nick offers a full suite of services – from cinematic video tours and exterior flyovers to beautifully lit interior shots. His portfolio includes work for renowned brands such as The Dorchester Collection, demonstrating their expertise and professionalism.

Professional photography is more than just a finishing touch; it’s a vital part of the sales strategy.

Exceptional images increase online interest, attract the right buyers, and often help to achieve a quicker sale at a stronger price. In a digital-first market, where most property searches begin online, impactful visuals make all the difference.

MAiSON’s partnership with Skyshot Global reflects its unwavering commitment to excellence. Together, they ensure every listing not only looks spectacular but tells the story of your property with clarity, warmth, and style.

One last thing ...

A FINAL NOTE FROM DANIEL

As we reach the closing page of this issue, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on what makes MAiSON truly special. Our commitment is to offer only the finest properties, ensuring that every home we present exceeds expectations. But it’s not just about the properties – it’s about the people we work with and the service we provide.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to the companies who have advertised in this magazine. Their support has been invaluable, and I am proud to partner with such respected businesses. The quality of service they offer matches my own commitment to excellence, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trusted services.

Thank you to all of you – our clients, partners, and advertisers – for being part of the MAiSON family. We look forward to continuing to provide exceptional service, outstanding properties, and personal care for many years to come.
