OUR CALL-OUT
Our call-out fee for projects within the Gauteng region, including the broader Joburg area, starts at R1000. This fee covers more than just a site visit; it’s an integral part of the consultation. During this session, we assess the nature of your project, offer initial expert insights, and outline the key steps needed to achieve your desired design outcome. Think of it as a preliminary roadmap; whether it’s zoning, design feasibility, or municipal considerations, you’ll walk away with clear direction on how best to proceed. It’s a valuable early step that ensures your vision aligns with practical requirements from day one.
