Building & renovating is one of the biggest investments you are likely to make and there is too much at stake for you to get it wrong. Unfortunately too often the dream of a new home turns into a stressful and expensive nightmare.

So this might be a first, a designer writing about the issues you might experience when working with a designer or architect.  However, it makes perfect sense really… who better to point out a few things that we as a profession should be doing right.

By avoiding these common mistakes you’re more likely to enjoy a stress free build and eliminate budget blow outs.
