It's worth noting that clients are responsible for covering council and third-party costs associated with both services.
Additionally, for entirely new build constructions, our Guaranteed Service is calculated as 20% of the value increase resulting from our planning contributions.
Q. Is Cettoi a standard architect firm?

We can of course advise basic interior design too, which can include paint choices and soft furnishings, but we call this interior detailing.
Q. How could you describe to a friend exactly what we do?
A. In a few words, we executively manage the entire design process bringing in the required expertise (in-house or third parties as required) to ensure our clients receive simply superior and beautiful design for their home, hotel, or workspace.
