Design Process
​
Pre Design Initial Consultation, Lifestyle Assessment​ & Brief Development
​Our assessment of your requirements and existing property, begins with a preliminary questionnaire and subsequent site meeting, during which we will refer to your answers and review first hand how you’d ideally like to see change, your preferences, influences, styles etc. We discuss how we can achieve your requirements, whilst considering planning, building regulations and further professional bodies you may require to achieve the best outcome. Thereafter we provide a quote for your proposed design package which meets the stated criteria relative to your brief and project budget.​​
​
Stage 1 - Survey of your existing property / spaces of interest​
Upon agreement to our quote and terms, we will arrange a mutual date to survey your existing property, which involves taking measurements and photographs.​
​
Stage 2 - Feasibility / Spatial Study / Conceptual Design​ in 2D & 3D
From your survey we then develop drawings, which are used to produce a feasibility study and conceptual designs. We then meet to discuss our proposals and how these address your initial brief. We make room for variations and any further needs if required, prior to finalising your brief accordingly.
​
Stage 3 - Design​ Development
Once we agree on the most suitable solution which closely meets your finalised design brief and agreed variations, we develop this design in more detail. This can include any combination of floorpan/s, elevations, structural alterations including new openings or new walls, natural light sources, electrical and artificial lighting, materials, fixed and freestanding furniture and fittings.
​
Stage 4 - Handover of your Settled Design Package​
Upon your satisfactory developed design, we then provide all elements quoted within your brief, as specified in our agreement.​

Offering flexibility our package can be used as a continuous reference for yourself, and your builder / contractor. If applicable the relevant drawings may be submitted for planning submission, whereby we can further act as your agent upon request.
