The excitement when you decide on a new project, let alone one that will transform and improve your very own home. Therefore here are some phases to follow:

3. Pre-design - getting inspired, defining existing conditions, agreeing the scope of work, project goals etc.
4. Schematic design – exploring design options, discussing feasibility, pros and cons.
5. Design development – producing drawings and retaining any consultants
6. Construction document phase – thoroughly documenting the scope of work, finalizing finishes through drawings and schedules
