Design Brief and Survey
At the outset, it is essential for us to gain a thorough understanding of your desired outcome. We take the time to listen to your needs in order to create a solution that is within your financial constraints. Following the initial site visit, a comprehensive design fee proposal and initial consultation cost estimate are prepared. Upon guidance, a comprehensive, measured survey is conducted of the property.
Development
This part of the process is really collaborative, where we help you figure out the best layout for you. We provide a complete CAD drawing service, plus 3D visuals from the initial sketch to CGIs, so you can get a full idea of what you're designing.
Planning
Once the ideas are approved, we'll put in the necessary planning or approved development applications and take care of the planning part of the process during the 10-week rule. We're proud to have a success rate of over 97% for planning applications and have created and submitted hundreds of intricate planning plans for London properties of all shapes, sizes and colours.

Design & Build
Team Selection
The builder, architect, and engineers are frequently included. Depending on the owner's preferences, they will either select one firm who will then select the remaining members of the design-build team, or the owner will actively participate in the selection of all firms that comprise the team.
Project Planning
A design project plan provides an in-depth structure for sharing all of the relevant parts, such as the brief for the project, tasks, building drawings, and moodboards, to organise and execute outstanding architectural projects.
Design Phase
The design process begins once the preliminary drawings are incorporated into the overall project plan. This is when the architect will create the project's final designs.
Construction
Project Conception
Every construction project begins with an idea, and the concept or idea behind a specific project requires careful consideration. Before beginning to create designs or blueprints, building teams ought to obtain expert advice to assess if the project is practical and feasible.
Pre-Construction
The preconstruction phase occurs when the bidding process has finished and the contractor is selected. A project team is put together and roles such as project manager, field engineer, health and safety manager, contract administrator, and supervisor are allocated.
Procurement
The project team orders, purchases, or rents all materials, tools, and services required to finish the project during this phase.
This stage of the building project might be more or less difficult depending on the scope of the project, the availability of resources, and the start date.
Construction
This is the period of project execution where all of your planning will pay off. Before any construction begins, the project manager, design, and engineering teams have already put in a lot of work to ensure the success of the project. The contractor and subcontractors own the primary stage during the construction period.
Project Management
Procurement
Procurement is the time-consuming process of sourcing and purchasing materials, furniture, equipment and other resources. A good procurement process ensures that your project moves forward without any delays due to unavailability or poor quality of critical items. The procurement phase is also essential for budgeting and controlling costs. Working closely with your design team will help you create a detailed budget and get the most out of your budget.
Execution
This phase of the project involves managing the construction, working with the subcontractors, and dealing with any problems that come up. Project managers are key to keeping the project running smoothly and dealing with any issues that come up. It's the only way to make sure everything runs smoothly and on time.
Project closure
The project closure phase is when the project is finished. It's when all the finishing touches are done, inspections are done, clients sign off, and everything is finished.
This is the time to finalize the details and complete the project. In fact you should ask for client approval to ensure they are satisfied with the final product.
Post-project evaluation
During the project evaluation phase, everyone involved with the project, from clients to designers to contractors to suppliers, gets a chance to give their thoughts and ideas.
This feedback is really valuable because it helps you figure out what went right and what needs to be improved. It gives you a better understanding of the project, so you can make better decisions for future projects. This way, you can make sure you're following the best practices when it comes to interior design and managing projects.
