Interior designers, orthodontists, lawyers and vets\u2026 to name but a few. They all offer consulting services… and so do I!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my biggest gripes is the \u2018system\u2019 is broken. After working on plans with a designer or architect (and after a mammoth amount of time and money has been dispensed), clients then make their way to the builder for a quote. The quote all too often sits comfortably outside all the boundaries that were once considered a budget. And then… it’s back to the drawing board for amended designs, and guess what… these cost more money. Ka-ching!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting a builder involved at an early stage and working collaboratively with a design and engineering team is the only way to ensure your project will meander within the confines of the budget and leave no shocks at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s often hard to know where to start, what may be possible and you’ve got a \u2018dart-in-a-dartboard\u2018 approach to the budget from the outset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My consultation process is far more than a coffee and chat about some ideas of what could be possible and a stab at the budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
