Common Inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to assist your planning and engagement process.

Discuss Your Project
Do you require full architectural drawings before providing an estimate?

Not necessarily for an initial consultation. While approved architectural drawings and structural engineer calculations are required for a binding, fixed-price contract, we can provide preliminary feasibility budgets and guidance based on sketches or property surveys.

Can you visit our property before we complete on a home purchase?

Yes. We frequently conduct pre-acquisition site walkthroughs with clients in Bristol (especially Victorian properties in Clifton, Redland, and Montpelier) to assess structural viability, load-bearing walls, and realistic budget expectations prior to exchange of contracts.

How do you handle Party Wall notices with adjoining Bristol neighbours?

We partner with experienced local party wall surveyors. When RSJ installations, beam padstones, or deep foundations fall within the 3m or 6m statutory boundary rules under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, we provide all required technical drawings to streamline consents.

Do you offer fixed-price contracts?

Yes. Once full architectural plans and structural details are finalised, we issue an itemised JCT Homeowner Contract with a fixed price schedule. Any variations during construction are clearly agreed in advance with documented cost adjustments.

Which areas outside Bristol do you cover?

In addition to central Bristol, we undertake projects across North Somerset (Leigh Woods, Abbots Leigh, Portishead, Clevedon), South Gloucestershire (Almondsbury, Thornbury), and key Bath catchments for architect-led renovations.
