Discuss visible structural and mechanical conditions, layout potential, access and the scope you want to achieve.
Paid pre-purchase feasibility
Before you buy the potential,
understand the project.

Prepare a consultation briefThis is a paid service. Terms, including fee, deliverables and turnaround, are agreed after booking.
What you receive
One property. A more informed decision.
Bring a serious contender and a realistic target budget. We focus the review on the questions that could change your purchase or renovation plan.
A preliminary scope
Outline the likely work, key assumptions and the decisions that need more design or investigation.
A ballpark renovation budget
Receive an initial budget range tied to the visible conditions and discussed scope, with allowances and unknowns identified.
A list of next questions
Identify where an engineer, inspector, lender, architect or other specialist needs to resolve an open issue.
How the consultation works
A defined scope before we walk.
Preparing a brief is the start of a conversation; it does not book the visit or create a construction agreement.
- 01
Share the contender
Send the listing or address, available plans or photos, budget, access details and offer deadline.
- 02
Agree terms after booking
Book through our public Instagram profile, then agree property access, review boundaries, fee, deliverables and delivery timing.
- 03
Walk and review
Review the visible conditions and intended layout together. Identify material unknowns and further investigations.
- 04
Consider the next step
Use the preliminary scope and budget to inform your decision. If you proceed, develop a separate construction scope and agreement.
Clear expectations
Know what the first review can tell you.
The consultation helps frame a decision. Concealed conditions, detailed design and approvals can change the scope and budget as the project develops.
Preliminary, with stated assumptions
The review is not a structural certification, home inspection, appraisal, loan approval or fixed-price construction bid. Specialist work is scoped separately where needed.
Consultation terms after booking
A flat fee or retainer, any credit toward a later construction contract and the delivery date must be confirmed in the engagement. Any 48-hour turnaround must be expressly agreed for the property and scope.

Before we talk
A few practical questions.
Useful answers before you choose your next step.
Can you walk several listings for one fee?
The proposed entry service is for one serious contender property. Additional properties or expanded investigations require a separately agreed scope and fee.
Does the fee roll into construction?
Any construction-contract credit must be confirmed in writing after booking. No automatic credit is promised.
Can you confirm hidden conditions?
A walk is limited by access and what is visible. Opening-up, testing and specialist assessments may be needed to resolve concealed or structural conditions.
A considered first step
Have a serious contender?
Prepare the address, your offer deadline and the renovation budget you have in mind.
