If you've already paid a token to a builder and you're reading this on a Tuesday night, the design conversation should have started six weeks ago. It still can. Send what you have — the title document, the plot survey, any builder drawings, the family's brief in whatever form it exists. We will read it before we call back.
Some inquiries we answer with a referral rather than a proposal. The studios we refer to are ones we'd commission ourselves. The reply will say which it is.
If you own a plot, the first conversation is a site walk. If you own a cold shell, the first conversation is a walk through the apartment with a tape measure and the brief. Both run longer than the client expected.
