This is not a discourse on psychology or philosophy or about being in tune with your surroundings but a “call to action”. To all you Milton Keynes people who have talked about improving their house over Christmas with their family, do not delay – contact a company that help kick start the process. What stops most people from starting with the process is usually not knowing where to start.
If you have a vague idea that you need more living space, whether it is a extra bedroom or garden room that is enough to start.
If you are dissatisfied with the relationship of your living space, kitchen, your entrance hall to other parts of your house, this is enough to start.
You do not need to have the answers to start – you just need to contact a company like Building Tectonics.
The other main reason not to start the design process is fear.
Fear of the building work taking over you house.
Fear of the much publicised builder from hell.
Fear of the architect. It is true that some people are put off contacting the architectural profession because they have a image of a rather snobby person arriving at their average Milton Keynes house who then proceeds to talk down to them and tell them what they want.
You do not have to be frightened of any of these things – Telephone or email Building Tectonics to be put at ease.
Let me describe how the first telephone conversations with a new client starts:
me – Building Tectonics, how can I help?
new client – Well I am not sure if you can help me but we are thinking of extending our house, well I think that is what we want to do. Also do you know any good builders and can you supervise the work too, oh and we have a budget to work to so its quite a small project and you may not do work like this.
I then proceed to explain how we can help them and I must be saying something right because I convert most of these polite unassuming Milton Keynes people to clients and then subsequently to a proud owner of an improved Milton keynes house.
It starts with a call or email – do it now while you are thinking of it. Be assertive – no fear. Whats the worst that can happen? well you might leave it another year.
