Before you book
Know what this call is—and is not.
The aim is clarity. It is not a detailed design, quantity survey or formal consent assessment.
Why is an expert call available at no charge?
The right early advice helps homeowners make better decisions and helps AVR understand whether a project is a good fit. A limited number are kept complimentary for that reason.
Is Simon’s normal rate really $199 per hour?
Yes. Simon’s professional consulting rate is normally $199 per hour. This is a focused 30-minute discovery call provided at no charge.
Is my project suitable for the call?
It is designed for Auckland homeowners genuinely planning a renovation, extension, kitchen, bathroom, recladding or whole-home project.
What should I prepare?
Bring your address, rough scope, target budget and preferred timing. Plans, photos or drawings help if you have them, but they are not required.
Will Simon give me a price on the call?
Simon can discuss realistic cost direction and whether the budget matches the scope. A reliable project price needs plans, site information and a proper scope.
Will I be pressured to book the next step?
No. If AVR is a good fit, Simon will explain the next step. If not, he will say so and point you towards a more suitable path.
