Interior Design and Technical

The design and technical teams create detailed drawings and schedules; this is the technical translation from the concept stage into what will eventually be created in reality. Immense details go into making these details and they are vigorously checked and rechecked so that they are in-line with what was envisioned. From structure, floors, doors and windows, electrical and lighting, to bespoke details of cabinetry and joinery. This will form the initial tender drawing pack and eventually become the template for the build.

Project and Cost Management

On sign-off, our very experienced contract management team take over to secure the necessary permissions and compliances, appoint vendors and service providers, procure products and components and coordinate resources to deliver the design specifications to budget and deadlines. The project manager reports on progress regularly, documents meetings, decisions and variances and manages the financial and administrative affairs of the project from end to end. On hand-over, a project audit identifies project snags that get noted and resolved promptly.
