The engagement
Best for
- Pre-purchase reviews
- Second opinions
- Self-managed renovations
- Stalled projects
Not every project needs a studio. Sometimes you need someone to tell you whether the wall can come down, whether the budget is real, and which three decisions actually matter.
A consultation is exactly that: a focused session with the designer, no pitch attached. You leave with marked-up plans, a material direction and a realistic number. If you go on to work with us, the fee comes off your first invoice.
What's included
Everything the scope covers.
[01]Layout review
We walk your plan and flag what's working, what's wasted, and what can safely change.

A shortlist of finishes that suit the light, the use and the budget you actually have.
[03]Budget reality check
An honest indicative range for the scope you're describing, before you commit to anyone.
[04]Vendor guidance
Where to buy, what to pay, and which trades to line up in what order.

Everything we discussed, sent within two working days so nothing lives only in your notes.
