Tips
Create a Brief
Collect your key requirements like bedroom and bathroom numbers. Think about how you would like to use the space and the flow of living areas. Are there any architectural styles that inspire you?
Check Experience
Be it your builder or designer source partners for project that can demonstrate quality craftmanship. Ask to see examples of their previous work and references. Getting this right from the beginning can save time, money and heartache
