Consultation Fee for Commissions

A quality consultation is the most important part of the process to enable me to truly understand what we are trying to achieve.

As this part of the process takes time in order to achieve quality results, my standard fee for consultation is £50. However, this fee will be waived from the final invoice of all completed works.

Thank you for your understanding.
