Our services

After agreeing on the brief, we then write a contract outlining the agreed scope,
budget, programme, specialists needed etc. At this point (before going any further
on the project) the client must sign the dotted line to commit. The design process
can then commence after the client has made the stage 1 and 2 payment outlined
and agreed as per contract.

After scope is agreed, the initial design concept is produced. The architect/ interior
designer provides the client with clear floor plans and 3D’s of the proposed design.
For interior projects, at this stage we will deliver mood boards, samples, swatches,
furniture layouts, sketches etc. to give the client the ability to envisage the end result.
The plans are evaluated and discussed with the intention of giving the architects a
clear indication as to how to further improve the design.

• Prepare an initial design and advise on:
• The intended space provisions and planning relationships
• Proposed materials and intended services
• The technical and functional characteristics of the design
• Check the conformity of concepts with the rights to the use of the property
• Review the anticipated costs of the project
• Review the project programme.

Once the client is happy that the design concept has been moulded and adjusted to their satisfaction, we then proceed to Council Drawings. At this stage we will also have a final Area Schedule of the
design. If the final area deviates by more than 10% of the original estimate then the fees will be adjusted. These drawings will also be adequate for bank submissions.
