Building advice
consultation with an Architect
We provide a consultation to prospective clients where
the essence of your project can talked about in detail.
Thinking about the main issues for your project at the outset
avoids typical mistakes and the design suggestions are geared
to give you a bright, comfortable home and save you money
on the running costs of your home.
Each project is unique, this meeting will help to determine
what you can expect from an architect.
If requested we can then furnish you with our fee proposal that
will be broken down into stages that correspond with the
client's requirements, a few days after the meeting.
What you can you expect from this consultation?
