Why Use Ashby Building Consultants Ltd?
There is a big difference between a spec built home and one designed by a consultant.
An individually designed home is designed and built to your needs and desires. A spec built home is just customised with a few finishes or cosmetic touches.
We work with you to understand your needs, program and budget to design a home that works for you. If you don’t have a program, we will help develop one. Your day to day schedules, activities, habits, everything is brought together to develop a program and a concept design.
While we design large homes, we also work on smaller plots with tight space constraints. We produce exciting, sustainable designs that are functional, innovative and good looking, despite any limited construction budgets.
With a remodel of an existing building, there are many potential surprises along the way. Some “problems” however, can turn out to be design assets in the hands of the right consultant.
