costs
The biggest elephant in the room is cost.
We all want to know what we're paying for and how much it will cost. Unfortunately, until we've worked out the design, this is largely an unknown.
In building terms, it would be like asking someone to look into a crystal ball...........and usually is just that.
However, at the front end - the design end, I've tried to work out a way to give a clear 'it is what it says on the tin' guide to the process and show that you can tailor my services to meet your needs & main priorities.
For example, if cost is most important to you - pick the Bronze package. If Continuity is your priority, then pick the Silver package.
If you are time poor and need someone to really keep you on track and do all the ringing round and getting costs & timings that you don't have time to do, then go for Gold.
Each package cost will be determined by the size of your project in square meters. For example, a single storey extension of 12 square meters will cost less than a 2 storey extension of 24 square meters. That is not to say it will be half the cost, as there are some parts of the process that will be common to both irrespective of the size.
It does however mean that I have created a matrix where after taking a few details on your project, I can give you a guide to how much you can expect to pay for each package - taking a bit of the guesswork out of the process.
Please see below for the inclusions and exclusions of each package and please feel free to contact me for outline costs using the 'get prices' buttons.
