A Quality Service Relevant to You

The key to providing a relevant and quality service is in first understanding precisely your requirements, even if it is not always clear from the outset; and how other parties interests (planning, building control, neighbours, etc) may impact upon it. The same is true whether the assistance you require is in the form of a survey, deciding whether to extend a property, design & building of a new house, a boundary dispute or some other matter.

Considering all the available options in terms of what is practical and what is possible (usually tailored by your own economic constraints) can sometimes give rise to the most unusual, practical or even straightforward solutions which maybe had not been considered.  Providing preliminary food-for-thought and an opportunity for informed reflection can often help to focus on the most appropriate and relevant way forward for you; even if this means entirely rethinking your initial plans.

Honesty at an early stage is also paramount in any ongoing relationship. We pride ourselves on assisting people to make the right decisions for them and offering appropriate services.  Sometimes this may be best achieved through the provision of more simplistic complimentary professional advice.

Remember whoever you engage and for whatever purpose, it has to be the right decision for you.
