How I Can Help
Starting Out
If you’re starting out on a project and need some unbiased professional help and advice, where can you go to find it? A builder may offer you a free quote but little in the way of design advice; an architectural practice may provide one hour’s free consultation in the hope that you will later employ them. In over 50+ years of discussing hopes, dreams, and budget restrictions with hundreds of clients, I have found that one hour is never enough.
Time And Money
Quite simply, you need time to think through your creative ideas before turning them into reality. You also need informed advice. But because design services can be expensive, many people are put off seeking professional help in the early stages. This is unfortunate because, as any professional will tell you, access to sound advice at the start can save you a lot of time and money. In fact, the most expensive thing you can do is rush into a building project without thinking it through.
Avoid Pitfalls
I launched my Architecture & Design Advisory Service to help people at this crucial early stage – before money is spent employing a builder or engaging an architect. With my help, you can develop your ideas at a manageable cost in a spirit of exploration and avoid the pitfalls that beset so many rushed and ill-considered projects. As the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright once put it, “You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledgehammer on the construction site.” The choice is yours.
Affordable
So whatever you need advice on – from altering your home’s layout, designing an extension, buying a new property, or building one from scratch – my Architecture & Design Advisory Service gives you affordable access to a professional problem-solving, ‘what-if’ approach at the time when it matters most: the beginning.
I have an extensive library of books, magazines and DVDs to help you with your creative ideas.
