Frequently Asked Questions
-
Space That Inspires is for UK homeowners planning a renovation or extension - whether you’re still viewing properties, about to get the keys or already mid-project. It’s especially valuable if you want to avoid costly mistakes, understand real-world costs, and feel calm and in control through the process — without needing to commit to full architectural services straight away.
-
Most information online is opinion-based, fragmented or biased toward selling a service. Space That Inspires is architect-led and independent.
Our founding architect, Matthew Montague, has delivered 1,000+ UK projects over three decades, so everything we teach is based on real-world experience, regulations, planning, risk and actionability - not theory.
Plus, unlike a self-paced course alone, you also have the option of a 1:1 consultation and ongoing community support, so you’re never guessing alone. -
Your consultation is tailored to your home and your goals.
Matthew will review your images, plans or details in advance, then talk you through opportunities, risks, priorities, likely costs and next steps. You’ll also receive a written summary of key actions, so you can move forward clearly and confidently — not second-guessing or relying on guesswork.
-
You’re still in the right place - in fact, many of our homeowners join us part-way through their renovation.
Even if you already have drawings, planning approval or a builder lined up, there are still hundreds of decisions ahead — budgets, layouts, specifications, buildability, sequencing, contracts, risk, energy performance and dealing with the unexpected. That’s often where stress and costly mistakes creep in.
The Renovation Roadmap and consultation help you:
sense-check your plans from a practical and buildability perspective
spot potential risks early
clarify priorities and next steps
protect your budget
and feel confident in decisions still to come
So whether you’re mid-way or just about to begin work - this support will still add huge value.
-
Not at all - in fact, this is the perfect time.
The earlier you understand realistic costs, planning constraints, layout potential and risks, the better decisions you’ll make when choosing a property or shaping the brief.
Many homeowners tell us they wish they’d had this information before:
falling in love with the wrong property
underestimating the true cost
or committing to plans that later needed changing
So if you're at the research or viewing stage, this guidance will save you stress, time and money later on.
-
Yes - because good decisions matter just as much on small projects as large ones.
Whether you’re doing:
a modest extension
internal reconfiguration
or refurbishing a few key rooms
… you still face the same challenges around budget, design, planning, contractors, sequencing and quality.
Even small mistakes can become expensive - and even small projects benefit from clear thinking, expert guidance and a structured plan.
Many of our homeowners come to us with smaller-scale renovations and say the clarity and confidence they gained were invaluable.
