Initial Consultation

You’re in the right place to book your initial consultation — the first step before any design or surveys begin. This is a focused conversation about your home, your aims, and what’s realistically achievable. You’ll receive a short written summary with next steps, likely permissions or surveys, and outline costs. The map of process for securing Initial Consultation is provided on PROCESS / MY PROCESS page (available from the top menu).   

Beyond this consultation

If there’s a good fit and further work makes sense, the next stages typically follow this path:

1 – Surveys and Assessments. Specialist checks (such as measured surveys, condition reports, or energy assessments) to ensure design decisions are based on facts.

2 – Feasibility Study. Brings together survey results and retrofit priorities to test different options and costs before design begins.

3 – Design. Development of drawings, specifications, schedules and details for builder pricing and statutory permissions — planning, building control, and utility consents as required.

4 – Delivery. Support during construction to keep work aligned with the agreed design and payments tied to verified progress.

Example Results
