"Our family is growing, and we need more space."
"We’re looking to add value to our home before selling."

Step 4. Budget Considerations

Setting a budget early helps us design and plan your project within your financial limits. If you’re unsure about the exact costs, we can help you work through estimates once we better understand your needs.

Have you set a budget range for your project? If yes, please share an estimate. *

Some Examples:
"We’re aiming to keep the budget under $150,000."
"We’re unsure about the cost, but we’d like to explore options."

Some Examples
"We’d like to start in the next 3 months and finish by the end of the year."
"We’re flexible but hoping to complete the project before next summer."

Step 7. Involvement in the Process

Are you looking to be hands-on throughout the project, or would you prefer us to handle everything from design to construction? *

Some Examples:
"I want to be involved in selecting materials and overseeing the design phase."
"I’d prefer a more hands-off approach where you manage the entire process."

Step 8. Potential Challenges

Identifying potential challenges early helps us proactively address them. This could be anything from planning approvals to site-specific difficulties.

Do you foresee any challenges with your project (e.g., council approvals, budget constraints, structural issues)? *

Some Examples:
"We may need council approval for the extension, which could be a challenge."
"Our block has a steep slope, which might affect the design."

Step 9. Unique Features of Your Home

This helps us understand any site-specific factors that could impact the project design or timeline. Some features may require special considerations or permits.

Are there any unique features of your home or site (e.g., heritage listing, sloping block, coastal proximity) that we should be aware of? *

Some Examples:
"Our home is in a heritage-listed area, so there might be restrictions."
"We live near the coast, so we need materials that can withstand salty air."

This helps us understand what matters most to you, so we can focus on delivering the aspects of the project that you value most—whether it’s sticking to your budget, meeting deadlines, or our level of expertise.
