What's the difference between a free initial consultation and a Home Design Consultation?

A free initial consultation is a conversation over the phone for us to get to know each other. You can decide if we are the type of architects that you would like to work with and we can decide if you are the type of clients that we would like to work with! We will discuss your project with you, answer project process inquiries and may offer some design suggestions but no sketches will be produced at this stage.

A Home Design Consultation is a home visit that thoroughly explores your dreams for your home. We assess your wishes as well as your house or building site.

Home Design Workshop £495*
This is a half day meeting with you in your home, developing your architectural brief, taking overall measurements and noting anything unusual. We draw sketch plans of the existing site or building before sitting down with you to create sketch designs that meet your requirements. You get sketch designs, new inspirational ideas, advice on what is possible and knowledge of how to take your project forward. For smaller and simpler projects this may be all you need to help inform a builder of your wishes. For larger and more complex projects this stage forms the basis of a feasibility study which we can use to gather further information for you including budget costs, structural possibilities and planning potential.
