how we work

Lighthouse helps clients tackle the building and sourcing challenges that inevitably arise from home renovations, and endeavour to make the entire experience enjoyable rather than stressful.

> Our background

Initial Consultation

The initial consultation is free and usually done on site. You can discuss your requirements and exchange initial ideas at this stage.

Proposal

Lighthouse will then provide a proposed scope of work, including the process and the estimated amount of time required to meet the client’s objectives. Once a proposal is agreed, Lighthouse will manage the actual hours against the proposal, updating the client on a regular basis (usually every 2 weeks).

We are normally invited to meet clients at the planning stage to make suggestions for the best use of the available space.

Storyboards

We create storyboards for each project as a visual reference to help the client with colour stories, fabrics, design direction, and furniture.

Shopping & Sourcing

We can help you source all your fixtures, fittings, floor coverings, tiles, kitchens, bathrooms, and wall coverings. If you need it, we can accompany you in your shopping, helping you to make the most informed purchases for your home.

Support

Lighthouse provides support throughout the process, making regular site visits to check on the renovation progress, meet with builders, and keep you updated.
