Declan's approach is built on planning well and clear communication. He begins with a thorough assessment, followed by in-depth on-site meetings to fully grasp the client's vision and budget.

"Detailed assessment of the project and Budget. Create a clear scope of works after at least 3 meetings with the client on-site, discussing their needs and addressing any queries they may have about project and budget."
