Interior Design Services Timeline
1.
Strategic Definition
To kick off the process, we collaborate with you to define your project objectives and viable options. By understanding your values and vision for the space, we conduct site appraisals and grasp your specific requirements and budget. This outlines the scope and potential constraints, laying the groundwork for a successful and inspiring transformation.
2.
Preparation + Brief
We develop the initial project brief and outlining the project parameters. Refining the strategic brief by incorporating your detailed requirements, desired outcomes, and quality standards. We arrange site surveys where necessary, establish budget estimates, and initial procurement strategies through conducting a feasibility study. This results in a comprehensive project brief and a strategic outline of cost and procurement methods.
3.
Concept Design
We create initial design concepts that meet your project brief. Developing multiple conceptual design options, such as general arrangement plans, massing studies, and preliminary building designs. We consult with planning authorities and stakeholders to ensure compliance and gather valuable feedback. This stage is completed with conceptual design drawings, initial visualisations, and an updated project cost estimate.
4.
Spatial Coordination
We work with you to refine the design and ensure coordination across all disciplines - developing detailed architectural designs and coordinating with structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers to ensure all systems integrate seamlessly. Our team brings expertise in planning and regulatory compliance, carefully balancing aesthetics and practicality. As the design nears completion, our quantity surveyors refine cost estimates, offering a clear and accurate projection for the project’s next steps.
5.
Technical Design
To make our designs fully build-ready, we produce comprehensive technical drawings and detailed specifications that cover every aspect of the project - from structural details to furniture and material selections. This level of precision ensures that our on-site team have accurate instructions to follow, minimising risk and ensuring our intended design vision is achieved in the build phase.
