Architecture Consultant in Cheltenham

General information

Are you about to embark on a project and need advice before you start?

That's where my Architecture & Design Advisory Service can help.

Something I hear all too often is, 'We wish we'd spent more time planning our ideas at the beginning'. Getting experienced guidance and advice in the early stages of a project can save time, money, and disappointment further down the line. Figuring out your objectives before launching into your project is crucial to its success. As the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright observed, "You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledge hammer on the construction site."

If you’re starting out on a project and need some unbiased professional advice, where can you go to find it? Builders will offer you a free quote with minimal design input, and many architects' services provide one hour's free consultation in the hope that you later employ them. In over 30 years discussing hopes, dreams, and budget restrictions with hundreds of clients, I have found that one hour is never enough!

People need time to think through their creative ideas before turning them into reality. They also need informed advice. But because design services can be expensive, many people are put off seeking professional advice in the early stages. This is unfortunate because, as any professional will tell you, the most expensive thing you can do is to rush into a building project without thinking it through.

I launched my Architecture & Design Advisory Service to help people at this early stage, before money is spent employing a builder or engaging an architect. Think of it as the opportunity for quiet reflection before the storm, the stitch in time that really could save thousands.

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.
