The service that I offer is a cost-effective way of
gaining my design knowledge and architectural experience. I will
let you know my estimated fee at our first meeting, and also give
you an idea of the other costs involved, all of which I will confirm
in my ‘letter of engagement’ which you will receive should
you decide to take the project further.
I enjoy working on design projects of varying sizes and realize
how a well designed alteration, however large or small, can make
an improvement
to a clients’ lifestyle.
Planning & Building Warrant Applications. At my first consultation,
which is free, I will discuss your thoughts, let you know if they
are viable and whether they need both Planning and Building Warrant
approval. On instruction I would return to measure up the building
and produce sketch designs so that you can choose your perfect solution.
The chosen scheme will be developed to the required level and be
submitted to the local authority for approval. I will take the proposal
through the submission procedures and you will not be troubled again
until the approvals are granted, so taking all the pressure off you
at a potentially stressful time.
Loft Conversions. A cost-effective way to gain additional space
without having to move home. Most lofts can be converted to provide
attractive rooms using dormer windows or roof-lights to flood the
space with light. I can produce sketch designs which will be worked
up for submission, as loft conversions always need Building Warrant & sometimes
also Planning.
Extensions & alterations. With professional help it is often
possible to develop your home into a property with enough space for
all your needs. I would produce sketch designs that will give you
a choice of solutions and when we are sure that we have the best
solution for you, I will apply for the Planning and Warrant approvals.
New Build. It would be my aim to design a home that matched your
specific needs and to guide you through the complicated road to completion.
Pre-purchase consultation. If you have fallen for a property but
are not sure whether it has the potential to realize your dreams
why not seek my professional advice to see if you can, for example,
knock down a wall and design your dream kitchen/diner, or build an
extension for the extra bedroom or playroom you have always wanted.
‘House Doctor’ service. If you want to take the stress
out of selling your home and capitalize on your biggest investment
McAllister Design can give you sound advice on how to achieve this.
From past experience in the property market I can optimise your sale
price by suggesting minor changes to the décor or set-up of
your house.
