How We Work
Simple & Transparent
We work in transparent simple and defined steps that put you firmly in control of your project as it progresses. Each step is clearly identified and you can progress through the stages at your pace. We always work on a fixed price schedule too – no hidden costs, no hourly rates. You will see that we are truly competitive, and we don’t hide our charges.
We start off with a free, no obligation call which enables us to understand your project. From this call we can establish your requirements and help you understand fully your project.
Bringing your ideas to life…
We will then design your initial concepts – what you can do and how it will look – bringing your ideas to life. When you are ready we can progress this through the Planning Permission process. At this stage you are in a very strong position with any suppliers you have in mind as your project is effectively good to go.
Should you require we can then assist with project management – supplier selection, pricing, timeframes contracts in fact everything you need for your project.
Each client’s journey is unique, and our approach enables every client’s needs to be accommodated. Our staged payment process puts you firmly in control of the budget. You can work out your initial costs for each stage with our cost calculator.
