Report
Emma is really thorough and her plans that she draws are spot on. She managed everything for us with the local authorities (planning permission, building control, etc) meaning that we didn't need to worry about anything like that. She took away the stress of finding/ appointing our builder who was excellent and she maintained site visits throughout the construction and fit-out period to help keep plans on track. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone and would definitely use her again.
