Project and
construction consulting

You do not have to commission the whole house to get the expertise.

Ali can be retained on his own to advise on a project already in design or in construction — reviewing an existing design, evaluating a proposed material substitution, resolving an aesthetic decision that has stalled, or finding the right vendor or specialist — without a full architectural or interior engagement.

This is the engagement nobody else offers cleanly, and it catches the situation nobody else catches: the owner who is already six months into a build and has just been handed a decision they are not equipped to make.

Capabilities

• Design review — An independent read on a scheme, a plan or a set of drawings before it is committed.
• Material & product review — Whether the specified item is right, and what happens if it is substituted.
• Construction-phase decisions — The calls that arrive at short notice with a trade standing on site waiting for an answer.
• Vendor & fabricator guidance — Who can actually build the detail, and what it should cost.
• Contractor introductions — Introductions to builders and specialists suited to the work.
• Site consultation — A visit, a walk-through and a written view.

Suited to

• Homeowners already in construction
• Owners working with another architect or designer
• Developers wanting independent design input
• Projects stuck on a material or product decision
