With economy as our watchword Elypsius Ltd worked with a team including Flora Benkada leading design consolidation to raise options for client review and consideration. Each presentation provided costs and a clear breakdown of project duration and the impact on surrounding properties. These were key considerations from the clients perspective.
With agreement this company set a scope of works and program provided health and safety documentation and insurance confations engaged subcontractor services undertook the main contractor role and facilitated the engagement of third parties to ensure the project was successfully delivered on a tight budget and in time to be successfully marketed offering a considerable uplift to the client.
-
Provide insightful and creative suggestions to upgrade this flat on a budget.
The client understands the location is good but the property has is access limitations and therefore the value has a ceiling.
However a creative refurbishment is seen as a good investment. Its hoped the team can develop proposals which meet budget and expectations on uplift as the flat is prepared for the market.
-
Working closely with trusted partners this company presented a range of alternative routes to the client.
Always aware of budget these suggestions were as pragmatic as they were created and through a process of cherry picking the optimal route was agreed
