FAQs
If you’re thinking about starting a project, these quick answers might help before you get in touch.
What information should I include when getting in touch?
Please include your full name, address, phone number, and a short description of what you need help with. If you have photos or sketches, you can send those later once I get in touch — they’re not needed at the initial enquiry stage.
Do you cover my area?
Yes — I work across North Down, Belfast and nearby towns, and I also take on projects further afield depending on the scope.
Do you charge for an initial consultation?
No — I offer a free initial chat to discuss your project and outline what drawings or approvals you may need.
How soon can you start?
This depends on the project type and my current workload, but I’ll always give you an honest timeframe during our first conversation.
How much do drawings cost?
Every project is different, so costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the work. Once I know a little about your project, I can provide a clear fee proposal with no hidden fees.
Do you take on small jobs?
I take on projects of all sizes, but I focus on work that requires professional drawings, approvals or technical input. If your project is very small‑scale, I’ll let you know quickly whether it’s something I can help with.
Do I need Planning Permission or Building Control approval?
It depends on the type of work. During our initial chat, I’ll explain whether your project needs Planning Permission, Building Control approval, or both — and what the process involves.
