Sorry, I couldnt really think of an appropriate thread title
We're getting our house designed and Im wondering when during this process should we start going to specific trades and suppliers to ask their opinions on things?
For example, a window company. I have asked Ed @ EcoClassic heaps of questions already, but at what stage should we formally start sitting down with companies and working out whats best? If we have the plans drawn up as they are and then a window company suggests something else, then it would no doubt change something else such as the house frame and then that would be wrong because of the change....
Does what Im asking make sense?
And what companies/suppliers etc should we be talking with during the design stage?
