I need to determine whether it will be cheaper to renovate or to move home. In order to this, I first need to have approved designs for a renovation that I can then have fully costed out in terms renovation costs, etc. My home is around sqm (maybe) and I'm thinking of building another floor on top in order to retain the usable space on the ERF itself. I would need a quote on architectural services, but also to understand your value proposition, i.e. do you run the plans through to approval as well, what other services are included, etc. I prefer an emailed quote but WhatsApp via this number is fine. Thank you.
