Services – How We Work With You

We establish what you would like to achieve from your design, refurbishment or build project. Taking into consideration your lifestyle, design style, property type, any property constraints, budget and timescale.
A successful project is based around communication, a strong understanding of your desires and our ability to transform your life leaving you with the home that you long for to share with family and friends.

Intensive Site Visit Consultation
After your FREE 20 minute Discovery Phone Call, the next step would be to book your Site Consultation in the comfort of your home at your convenience through our online booking system below.
Every project that LivingFunky accepts commences with one of our Working Site Consultations for up to 2hours, which is a productive meeting where we work in partnership with you to establish and review your Needs and Requirements.
We designed our proven and successful process as there is a huge issue with people starting design, refurbishment or build projects BEFORE they have fully done their homework. This causes projects to go over on time and over on budget.
After your Consultation you will receive a Personalised Action Plan Report which will tell you what to do, so you can eliminate potentially costly assumptions and possible mistakes before you hire a design or build team. Our Action Plan is designed to help you understand where to start and ensure things are done correctly from the beginning, before you start your works.
Our Consultations fall into two Categories, either Structural Architectural Design and Build or Interior Specification, Space Planning and Design.
A Site Consultation maybe all that you need if you are looking for Interior Specification, Space Planning and Scope of Works Guidance, as your Personalised Action Plan will answer your questions.
Depending on your requirements, prior to our site visit we may:
- Research and locate existing floor plans of your home or a similar neighbouring property.
- Confirm whether your project will fall under planning or permitted development (we have the answe to this).
- Determine the best possible design ideas / layout for your growing family.
During our visit we may:
- Survey your intended area for the works
- Discuss Estimated Budgets and expectations
- Based on your Budget we can suggest, through our experience ways to add maximum potential value/equity to your property through design ideas
- We can discuss any formalities required for your project (planning, permitted development, party wall, structural requirements)
- After your Consultation you will receive a Personalised Action Plan Report, designed to move you forward each step of the way, with Confidence. This ensures you never have to doubt yourself or your decisions during your project.
Once you have scheduled your Consultation below, you will see a link to our online 40 question questionnaire for you to fill in and submit to us. Your answered questionnaire along with your Site Consultation gives us the information required for us to understand your lifestyle and vision for your home. It also puts us in a better position to guide you with which Structural Architectural Design Package or which Interior Specification Design Package, is best suited for your Needs and Requirements.
Architectural Design Stage
Depending on your needs, we have 3 Architectural Packages which cover a range of options depending on your needs and requirements.
Once the Design Concepts and outline budgets are agreed, we will produce final Plans and Drawings, for planning permission or permitted development.
We will also produce all Building Regulation Drawings to ensure your project is Safe, Complient and Signed of by Building Control.

LivingFunky’s Key People
Lindsay Gibbons
Lindsay Gibbons is one of the founding Directors of Living Funky Ltd Living Funky Ltd are a main contractor and project management team.
Lindsay and Living Funky Ltd welcome new opportunities and challenges to work with new partners and investors.
Claire Hunte
I specialise in transforming rundown properties and building funky, stylish quality homes in South East London, which sell at a premium for the highest price on the street for that style of property.
If you’re an investor wanting a profit share or a fixed rate return on your investment of £100 000 or more, we are currently working with a limited number of property investment partners.
Having qualified and worked as a Fashion Designer and Fashion Stylist for more than ten years, I make a point of going against the trend for appealing to the masses but rather love creating for homebuyers in a genuine personalised manner.
Together my partner and I combine our passion for property, and constantly push the boundaries of style in our developments.
“Together we combine our passion for property
&
constantly push the boundaries of style in our Funky Low Energy Homes”
Most Building Companies play it far too safe, they show a lack creativity and stick to a dull, sterile colour palette when designing their properties. For the most part their interiors are complete style disasters, and if a homebuyer is looking for a newly built or developed property that is unique, inspiring or individual it’s very hard for them to find one.
The homebuyer then has to spend their time, energy and further money creating a true home from essentially a bland box.
Our Solution
We make a point of going against the trend for appealing to the masses, but rather we love creating for our homebuyers in a genuine personalised manner.
