How we work with you.
One of the most daunting aspects of any major renovation or new build is not knowing how to start.
We understand that every client, and every project has their own individual set of needs and requirements. No two jobs are ever the same, but the framework to reaching the end goal can be.
If you have concerns about providing a budget up front, that’s completely understandable and quite a normal response for clients who are new to building.
The important thing to know is that sharing a budget doesn’t lock you into anything — it simply gives us a clear framework to design within. Think of it as setting the guardrails: it ensures we don’t waste your time (or money) creating ideas that aren’t realistic, and it helps us focus our creativity on delivering the best possible home for you within your means.
