What to Expect from in a Consultation Meeting

Blog_WhatToExpect_HVC.jpg

Our consultation meeting is designed to answer as many questions as you have, discuss possible costs, go through how long the project will take, explain who else needs to be involved and what needs to be done by who and when. The idea is for you to fully understand and explore whats possible and to start your project off with the big picture in mind.

Most people only extend their homes once or twice in their lifetime, having designed 200+ extensions for home owners, this service provides you access to 15+ years of experience and knowledge.

I provide an overview of the whole design process so you can prepare for your project the best way you can, helping you make some key decisions early on in this process. We will also do our best to fully understand what you would like to do and provide some design ideas and solutions.
