-
Space Planning
The first step to any project is to understand the flow and layout of the venue. I look to firm up the development of the space plan straight away to ensure a smooth design process
-
Concept Design
Pulling on trends and consumer demographics, I look to offer compelling ‘big ideas’ showcasing samples, visualisation and supporting mood imagery.
-
TENDER PACKAGE
It is extremely important to submit a technical drawing package as part of the design process to support accurate tender costing for your project. It also helps to understand the budgets early on when looking to develop bespoke pieces for manufacturing to scale
-
SITE VISIT
Block bookings to attend site visits to ensure contractors fulfil the interior vision when on site . (I call this fire fighting).
Confirmation of time and support needed on site ln line with project scale and timelines.
