What homes here are like
Dunkeld sits just east of Craighall Park across Jan Smuts Avenue, and shares the same mature-garden, extension-heavy character — usually a step up in stand size and renovation scale. Additions here tend to run through an architect rather than a builder alone, which changes how early shading gets planned into the project.
The brief is close to Craighall Park's own: original sash or casement sections next to a newer glass wing, with a canopy of established trees throwing genuinely different light onto each side of the house.

Straight answer
The bigger the addition, the earlier we want to be involved — a concealed system needs the ceiling recess agreed before the plaster goes up, not after.
