💡 Money-Saving Tips

Keep kitchens and bathrooms in their existing locations to avoid soil-stack rerouting.

Use built-in joinery for storage instead of freestanding furniture — better visual outcome and often cheaper.

Specify acoustic underlay during the rewire/replumb stage to avoid repeat lift floor coverings.

Bundle works with managing-agent approval timing — start when consent is in hand.

Choose mid-prime fixtures and reserve prime spend for visible centrepieces.
