We looked at numerous plan layouts and designs to suit the clients budget early on in the process. We achieved the desired layout and this included a master suite but the en suite is currently used as nursery at this time. A cloak room and walk in laundry and traditional larder was also achieved on ground floor. This was coupled to detailing and materials as these would also affect the budget. So we had a list of client supplied items and then also quotes from preferred builders. This way we could work on real costs even before we had builders costs were confirmed. We liaised closely with the local planners regarding our proposals. We also looked at the surrounding original period houses in the street and immediate area. To establish original window design and pattern for the front elevation. So that we could ensure of replicating the original glazing bar pattern to the replacement sash windows which were also to be double glazed and sealed.
