“Nomad Stone is the culmination of 30 years experience practicing at my favourite hobby …”
Sam is a qualified building surveyor and a serial developer passionate about reinventing underused land, properties and unusual spaces.
Her career in construction began in 1989 when she gained her HND in Building Studies, learning how to build walls, create technical drawings and use a theodolite, as well as studying the more technical aspects of building lifecycles.
As Sam took on increasingly larger projects, she continued her education, studying Building Surveying Practices at Reading University. Further developments followed, ranging from developer landlord projects to complete rebuilds and land assembly.
Nomad Stone's conception was a natural progression for Sam, who has an eye for potential, always looking to enhance the built environment and enable the best use of space to create value that others cannot see.
Thirty years later, construction and buildings still excite Sam, and her unique energy and sense of fun have seen Nomad Stone go from strength to strength. She particularly enjoys creating innovative spaces to provide much-needed homes and, instead of demolishing, turning unloved buildings into places where people want to live and work.
Sam was keen to do two things when setting up Nomad Stone: to help First Time Buyers by creating 'First Rung of the Ladder' opportunities and to support her charity, Nomad Home.
Sam says that she can occasionally still be found in a digger, and that yes, she still loves it.
