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.

    Wow what a view....have you got roller blinds there already? I would consider lace or. Lace effect panels for the two side windows to hide the buildings a bit and then on the patio doors put some of those vertical slatted blinds that you can draw right back in the day time! Good luck x
