Frequently asked questions
Can you quote before drawings are ready?
We can discuss the project, but a meaningful construction quote needs a sufficiently defined design and scope.
Is planning permission always required?
The website does not determine planning status. Confirm the position for your project with the relevant professional or authority.
Can the adjoining rooms be refurbished?
Yes, this can be included in the agreed scope and programme.
