What previous attendees have said…
“The benefit to us of the session was the time to explore our general questions about renovation ideas, and to have that combined with a discussion about the project management process.”
“I think the biggest single benefit for us was helping us take the first step by chatting to an architect about our project. It can be a daunting exercise to start, especially as first home owners, so it was a fantastic way to make it more accessible for us. We were grateful for the general guidance as it’s given us food for thought!”
