Design Consultation
​
At JEArchitecture, we offer a high-level design consultation service to help you make well-informed decisions about your project before you begin. Whether you're planning a new build, extension, or renovation, our consultations—led by one of our experienced architects—will provide clarity on how to proceed or if it's better not to.
These consultations are typically conducted remotely via Zoom, or on-site at your property, and last about half an hour to an hour. To maximize the value of your consultation, we encourage you to come prepared.
​
