ABOUT THE EVENT

Join Complete Architecture's director, Jon Clayton, for an informal chat about your own property. Discuss how to make better use of existing spaces and the building's potential for further development.

Whether large or small, undertaking any sort of building project can be an overwhelming experience.

This is a great opportunity to get one-to-one advice from a home design specialist. Get advice on common building projects, discuss the planning process and find out about permitted development rights. Get the answers to your burning questions about renovating your own home and learn how to avoid common pitfalls when undertaking building projects.

Don't miss the chance to meet a local property professional in a more informal setting than the office. Jon is a Chartered Architectural Technologist and has extensive experience of home renovation projects. Jon also works with a range of other property professionals and local building contractors. If he can't answer your question then he probably knows someone else who can.

Places for this event are strictly limited. If you are planning your own ‘Grand Design’ or home renovation project and fancy a no-obligation chat with Jon, then why not book your place now!

ABOUT THE VENUE

The Borough is an award-winning pub, restaurant and hotel in a traditional Georgian townhouse in the heart of historic Lancaster. You will meet Jon in the public bar. The bar serves a wide range of refreshments you can enjoy during your visit including ales, wines and freshly ground coffee.
