Consider our 4-hour virtual design consultation as the perfect kick-start to your project. This session is not just a meeting; it’s a key to unlocking the potential of your home. Whether you’re dreaming of a kitchen extension or reconfiguring your living space, our consultation offers a clear, engaging, and time efficient exploration of possibilities.
During the session, you’ll receive architect-designed ideas with sketches, allowing you to visualize the transformation of your space. It’s an opportunity to not only kick-start your project but also to gain valuable insights into the project process, benefiting from our team’s expertise.
With over 20 years of experience and the trust of more than 8500 homeowners, our design consultation is the ideal starting point for your home renovation journey. It’s a collaborative process that ensures your needs are heard, and your aspirations are understood.
What you get is not just a meeting but a comprehensive roadmap that guides you through the next steps of your project.
We understand that the financial aspect of engaging an architect can be a concern. What makes our service unique is our commitment to budget-friendly transparency.
For an investment of £838.80 (including VAT), you not only gain access to a wealth of knowledge but also receive a tangible plan for your renovation.
This upfront fee serves as an invaluable investment in the success of your project, providing you with confidence and excitement as you embark on your home transformation journey.
For this you will get a sense of what is possible and how the scheme will be considered in planning terms so you can be assured that the design will meet the requirements of the local planning team – and where it does not (sometimes ideas can push the conventional) how these can be overcome, whilst being aware of the associated risks at the outset. By undertaking a focused workshop session with the architect online you will be clear on strategy at the end of the session and step by step guide of what happens next knowing that you are walking into the process knowing what is possible.
We will ask you to confirm if you can provide estate agent plans for the space. Not to worry if you can’t, we have a solution for this which we can discuss with you. For the initial sketch process, we will use the estate agent’s plans as the basis of the designs.
Using these, your architect will have some workable layouts for the start of the visit.
The architect will log in to a Teams/ Zoom call with you at the time of your visit. You will be sent details at the time of booking and one of our team will call you the day before to make sure you are all set for the consultation.
The first 15 minutes or so the architect will seek to get an understanding of what you are looking to achieve in the space, considering how you live and will ask lots of questions to get a real sense of what you are after in the short and long term.
Once they have an initial idea of what you are looking to do they will switch to a mobile video call on WhatsApp and ask for you to walk through the space with them, this normally starts from the front door and they will navigate and continue to ask questions. This is the perfect opportunity to highlight to them any parts of the house you love and even those areas that you think you could do with their help to fix.
Following the walk through your architect may have a few more questions and talk through some further details that will help them to design the space for your needs.
They will transfer back to the Teams/ Zoom call and start working through designs for the space with you. Watch as your architect transforms your ideas into tangible designs.
Experience the creative process as we draw up live options for the layout, ensuring your vision is captured and refined in real-time.
As the design is developed you will start to see what is possible and work with your architect to define what works for you; we would expect to go through 2-3 options through the session and the interactive nature of doing this with you puts you very much at the heart of the process.
The session will conclude with the architect talking through next steps and what permissions may be required and how this could work for you.
At the end of the session you will have a clear idea of the space you are looking to create and the next steps on the journey to making it a reality.
A few days after the visit the architect will send you the plans and a brief summary outlining the next steps and their fees to support you through this.
As you can see, this simple 7 step process is likely to be the quickest and most cost effective way to find out what you can do in your home and with real sketch ideas at the end of 4 hours a great investment of time and money. Giving you the benefit from the architect’s expertise and receive valuable insights and suggestions during the consultation.
