Your Renovation, Managed from Start to Finish
Plenty of companies say they handle everything. Here is what that actually means when you work with us.
The short version
You have one point of contact. We organise every trade your project needs, in the right order. You get told what is happening before it happens, not after.
- Consultation
- Planning
- Preparation
- Renovation
- Finishing
- Final Inspection
No need to find and manage several different contractors.
The detail
Six stages, in order
Stage 1
Tell us about your project
Send us a description, a few photographs, or just ring and talk it through. There is no form you have to fill in perfectly. A rough idea is enough to start.
What we need: roughly what you want to change, where the property is, and when you'd like it done.
Stage 2
Site visit and consultation
We come and look. We talk through your ideas, what is realistic, what the options are, and what each one is likely to cost. If something you want is a bad idea, we will say so.
This is free and there is no obligation. Most visits take under an hour.
Stage 3
Detailed written estimate
You get a clear, itemised description of the proposed work and what it will cost. Not a number scribbled on a page, but a document you can read, compare and keep.
If you want to change the scope, we re-quote. No pressure either way.
Stage 4
Project planning
Once you go ahead, we plan the stages, order the materials and book every trade the job needs, in the order it needs them. This is the part that determines whether a project runs to time.
You get a schedule with dates on it before anyone turns up.
Stage 5
The renovation
The work is carried out. You get regular updates and photographs as it progresses, and one person to call about any of it. If something unexpected is found, we tell you and price it before we act.
Site left clean and safe at the end of each day.
Stage 6
Completion and final check
We walk through the finished work with you, write down anything you are not happy with, and deal with it. The job is finished when you say it is.
Any guarantees and paperwork are handed over at this point.
One point of contact
Who you'll actually be dealing with
Your project is run by Edgar, our founder. He does the site visit, writes the estimate, plans the work, orders the materials and answers the phone while the work is going on.
On site, Andrei and William can answer day-to-day questions and sort out small issues within the agreed work. Any changes, extra work or important decisions go to Edgar first.
That is the whole idea. You are not calling a plumber on Monday, an electrician on Tuesday and a tiler on Wednesday, and you are not the person who has to notice that the plasterer needs to come before the tiler.
