Start with the way you live
Start with how the home works today. Which rooms feel too small? Where is storage missing? What do you want to keep? Separate the essentials from the ideas that would be nice to include. Photos, sketches and existing plans can help explain the changes you have in mind.
Understand the full scope
Think about the whole scope: layout changes, structural work, building systems, cabinetry, finishes and the connection between rooms. Discuss what needs professional investigation before a construction estimate can be reliable.
Talk about budget and timing
Share your target investment and timing early. Ask which decisions must be made first and which can wait. A useful starting brief gives the team enough direction to recommend a next step without pretending every detail is already settled.
Bring your available information to the first conversation. We can help identify the next useful step.
