Planning building work or need a second opinion?

Independent advice to help you decide what to do next.

Whether you’re planning an extension, renovating your home or concerned about work already underway, it can be difficult to know which decisions to make and whose advice to follow.

Drawing on years of hands-on building experience, I’ll help you work through your questions, consider practical options and understand the potential implications for your project and budget.

You’ll get an independent second opinion focused on your situation, helping you identify what needs clarifying, what to discuss with your builder and where further specialist advice may be needed.

What your consultation includes

Tell me about the work you’re planning or the project already underway, the stage you’ve reached and the questions you’d like help with. Any relevant plans, photographs or project information you already have will help me understand your situation.

Before you book, I’ll confirm what we’ll cover, how the consultation will take place and the total fee. If your questions require a site visit or specialist assessment, I’ll explain this so you understand what’s needed and what is included before committing.

Understanding Your Consultation

This is a focused advisory consultation about the project and questions agreed before booking. My advice is based on the information you provide and, where a site visit is specifically agreed, observations of safely accessible areas.

It does not replace a building survey, structural engineering assessment or specialist inspection. It does not include legal advice, certification of building work or ongoing supervision of your builder. Any site visit, written report or additional support must be agreed in advance.

Any comments on costs are estimates for budgeting, not fixed quotations or guarantees of the final cost. Where more information, further investigation or specialist advice is needed, I’ll highlight this.

01 —Your Plans And Concerns

We'll discuss the work you're planning or already have underway, what you want to achieve and the specific questions or concerns you'd like help with.

02 —Independent Second Opinion

I'll offer a practical independent view of the options and concerns we discuss based on the information available, highlighting points that need clarification or closer attention.

03 — Costs & Priorities

I'll help you consider the likely budget implications of different options and identify which decisions or improvements should take priority.

04 —Clear Next Steps

You'll get practical steps, questions to raise with your builder, and guidance on when further information or specialist advice is needed.
