My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Its important to know that when ordering products that have a lever on the inside.

    The hand of the door is always determined from the outside. looking at the door,

    if your hinges are to your left, you have a left hand door. if they are to you right, you have a right hand door.
