FAQ's

How does it all work?

We kick things off with a friendly consultation. This is your chance to share your ideas, goals, and preferences. Drawing from our extensive experience, we’ll suggest creative directions tailored to your vision. Next, we develop an initial concept and present draft plans for your feedback. You’ll have the opportunity to refine and adjust the design until it’s exactly how you imagined.

What’s the usual timeframe ?

Project timelines vary depending on complexity, but we aim to visit your property within a few days of your inquiry. You can expect to receive your first draft plans within approximately two weeks.

Construction can sometimes begin within a few weeks, though more detailed projects may take up to four months to reach the build stage.

Are you familiar with local council procedures?

Definitely. With over 15 years of working closely with councils across the North West, we’ve developed strong relationships and a deep understanding of local planning policies — helping your application move smoothly through the approval process.
