things weren’t always this way. Eighteen years ago, we were in the same situation that you’re in now.. It was actually, quite a confusing time for us. We had just managed to buy a house, which was AMAZING! BUT in order for it to become a perfect home for us, it needed a LOT of work doing to it. The truth is, it wasn’t necessarily our forever home but we knew we could make it the home that would be perfect for us, at that time in our life. We knew, if done correctly, It would work beautifully for us and our family. However, we didn’t know where to start when tackling a home that needed redesigning and renovating from top to bottom AND possibly building an extension to it as well. You see, we were busy with life and work (running our own business) and although we actually owned a Plastering Contracting Company we didn’t have the confidence and clarity when it came to our own house. Whilst we were very aware and mindful of achieving the most for our money, we also knew that if we got so caught up with the Big Budget issue, we may have skimped on vital aspects and got it all wrong. The fact is, we still lacked clarity and certainty as to how to create the home that we knew we would love. After moving in and living in our new (but severely dated) house for some time, we realised that until we committed fully, we would never achieve the home that we wanted and actually needed. That was until we started to really research and acknowledge, that in order to create our ‘dream home (for that time)’ we would need to bring in the real professionals. The people or companies, who had a solid track record, years of experience and who knew more than we did, when it came to designing and renovating a family home. Bare in mind, this was at a time when hiring professionals from the internet was still very much in its infancy. However, we were positive and knew that if we did enough research we would find the right company or people to bring our dream to life. We thought, in no time at all we would be living in our home……..but we soon discovered that finding the right people to work with, was a process in its self. We stayed positive though, up beat and remained certain that eventually we would find the right company for us. We invested our time, had a number of phone calls and even paid for architects, designers and other consultants to come and visit us. With our dedicated time and effort we were finally getting somewhere and were close to confidently hiring the right people. Send us an email and we’ll reply and show you exactly what we did. Plus we’ll tell you about an embarrassing Christmas we had!
