Monsieur Georges — crest with the lions of Normandy

Caen · Granville

Our method

Your project,
step by step.

From the first meeting to the handover of the keys, Monsieur Georges is with you at every stage. A clear method, so that you always know where your project stands and what comes next.

The six stages
First meeting with clients over the plans

Getting to know your project

A meeting to listen to your needs and take measurements on site.

Everything begins in your home. We take the time to understand how you live, what you wish for, your constraints and the budget you would like to set aside for the project. A survey of the property, photographs, initial planning checks: we leave with a precise picture of what is possible.

What you receive

  • A summary of your project and its constraints
  • A survey of the existing property

Outline design

Mood boards and a first budget estimate.

Within three days, we present a first sketch: layout plans, mood boards and suggested materials. A first estimate lets you check that the project matches your expectations, and adjust it before going any further.

What you receive

  • Sketch plans and mood boards
  • An overall budget estimate

Detailed design

Technical details and an itemised cost breakdown.

The project takes shape: dimensioned plans, sections, choice of materials and fittings. Where needed, we prepare the planning application (déclaration préalable or permis de construire) on your behalf. The itemised costing gives you a clear view before you commit to anything.

What you receive

  • Final plans and technical specification
  • An itemised cost breakdown
  • The planning application, where required

Choosing the craftsmen

Selecting the craftsmen and approving the quotes with you.

We consult qualified, insured craftsmen, chosen for their reliability and the quality of their work. Their quotes are compared line by line, then reviewed together. You decide with full knowledge of the facts, and the works schedule is agreed.

What you receive

  • A side-by-side analysis of the quotes
  • The provisional works schedule

Site supervision

Coordination and supervision of the works through to completion.

We orchestrate every trade on site and keep a close eye on workmanship and deadlines. Regular visits and a written report after every site meeting: you follow the progress of your project without having to carry it alone.

What you receive

  • A written report after every site meeting
  • One point of contact until the works are complete

Handover

Delivery of your project and resolution of any final snags.

We walk through the finished works together. Every detail is checked; any snags are recorded and then put right by the firms concerned. You get back a home that reflects who you are, with all the documents you need to look after it.

What you receive

  • The signed handover report
  • The as-built file
