At the consultation*, we meet and talk with you in great detail about your needs, thoughts and wishlist. If we are at the property you want to renovate, we walk through it with you, taking note of the problems you want to solve and offering ideas and advice. We discuss your concerns, propose solutions, answer questions, describe what you can expect, and what the next steps are. We record a detailed scope of works, that is yours to keep, whether or not you proceed further with us. It is an important document that will form the basis of your project.

​​
