The success of any property project depends on having the right people around you. Unless you have the time and relevant experience, going it alone can lead to expensive delays. That’s why Kate always advocates building a team of experts you can draw on.
For an extension, reconfiguration or new build, she highly recommends working with professional residential architects such as Urbanist Architecture as it means you will be starting your project in the right direction, working to your budget to produce creative ideas. They’ll produce accurate plans for your builder to work from, submit your planning application for you, and liaise with the planning department to minimise delays.
