Renovations

If substantial alterations or even the possibility of an extension, or house raise to build under are envisaged then a little careful thought and time spent considering the issues will pay dividends in spades later. Renovations can be a lot more expensive than many people realise so some careful planning before you engage a professional is a sensible thing to do because it’s your home and your family after all who will be living there. Jumping in too quickly may be a mistake - a mistake we have seen and continue to see many people make - more
