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 detailed fee proposal that will be broken down into stages that correspond with the client’s requirements, a few days after the meeting.
