Cirkadia brings a wide business background and in-depth requirements gathering and analysis experience to bear on the problem early in the process, ensuring that we have a reliable business blueprint and identified your core requirements from which to start design and construction.

All of these aspects are important to how much the house will work for you - both in terms of ease of maintenance or future extension through to day-to-day ergonomics and enjoyment.
