Sound familiar?...
You've got architect's plans drawn and planning permission granted
Builder quotes came back 50–100%+ over what you'd budgeted
You've gone back to the architect or builders - and got nowhere
You can't afford to build it, but you don't want to abandon it
You just want someone who's been there to tell you what to do next

You Did Everything Right - And Still Hit a Wall
You planned carefully.
You paid for proper drawings.
You waited months for planning permission.
Then the builder quotes came back with prices that made your stomach drop.
Not one builder offered a way to make it work.
You're not the first person to stand exactly here.
And it's almost never as hopeless as it feels right now.
"The architects knew our budget ...the quotes still came back double."
"We had two sets of plans drawn, and told both architects our budget clearly and the quotes still came back 70 to 100% over. We genuinely thought we'd have to walk away and write off everything we'd already spent. Talking it through with Fran was the first time anyone had actually shown us a way forward."

The Free Diagnosis Call: Here's Exactly How It Works
It's a straight, no-pressure 15-minute call to work out whether - and how - I can help with your specific project.
Here's what that means:
WHAT IT IS ✓
A free, 15-minute one-to-one call, direct with me
A few straight questions about where you're up to and what the quotes came back at
An honest read on whether your project can be brought back on track
If I can help, I'll tell you exactly how - and what the next step looks like
If I can't, I'll point you toward who you actually need
WHAT IT ISN'T ✗
Not a hard sell - if we're not a fit, I'll tell you plainly
Not a redesign or a full plan drawn up on the spot
Not a quote, and not me recommending specific builders
Not 45 minutes of your evening - it's 15, and I keep to it
Not something you need to prepare for beyond knowing your rough numbers
That's it. Fifteen minutes, no cost, no obligation.
And you'll come off the call clearer than you are right now, whichever way it goes.

Let's Be Straight About Whether This Is for You
I'd genuinely rather you didn't book - than book the wrong call.
So here's exactly who this is and isn't for.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You've got architect's plans drawn and planning permission granted
You've had builder quotes back - and they've come in well over budget
You're stuck, and you need a clear path forward before you make a decision you'll regret
You want honest, experienced input - not to be sold a dream
THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF…
You're still at the thinking-about-it or early design stage - you're not stuck yet
You haven't had builder quotes back (come back when you have)
You've already decided what you're doing - you don't need me
You're looking for free plans, a quote, or a builder recommendation - that's not what this is
If you're in that first list, this call was built for you - and 15 minutes could change the whole direction of your project.
I've Spent 20 Years on Building Sites - Not Behind a Desk
Fran Mickelborough
Home Extension Guide
I'm Fran.
For over 20 years I've worked on building sites - I know what extensions really cost to build, how builders price them, and where the money quietly disappears.
I've watched hundreds of projects, and I've seen exactly which ones stall at the quote stage and which ones find a way through.
That's the difference on this call.
I'm not an architect defending a design, and I'm not a salesperson.
I'm the person who can look at your situation honestly and tell you what your real options are - because I've stood on the sites where these decisions play out, and I know what works.
"I went in panicking and came out knowing exactly what to do"
- David T (Grenoside)
You Don't Have to Work This Out on Your Own
The situation you're in doesn't get better by sitting on it.
The decisions only get more expensive the longer you wait.
15 minutes on the phone with someone who's been here a hundred times could change the whole direction of your project.
It's free, and there's no obligation.
The worst case is you leave the call clearer than you are now.
