Our consultant says, 'Whatever stage your business is at I can help demystify being green, responsible, ethical and translate it into solutions that are real and relevant.

From the initial consultation we detail a design brief which provides a summary of all aspects of the design direction and work to be included within the established budget.
During this phase, with the design concept approved, we detail plans and specifications in preparation for the tender and construction process. During design development we work closely with other specialist consultants, such as architects, engineers, construction managers & landscape designers to ensure all parts of the design work correlate flawlessly throughout the entire project. In the case of commercial work it is common to also team with marketing groups to assist with preparation of the sales material.

Design detailing involves working on site with the construction managers to inspect work, respond to RFI inquiries and ensure the design is being correctly followed by the construction team. Here we also check trade construction drawings and inspect the manufacture of products in factories.
We manufacture high quality bespoke furniture and exquisite millwork. Our huge manufacturing base over several specialising factories (with engineer design support, in house QC, experience global shipping and more) means we are able to supply at very competitive pricing.
We design, source, cost and oversee the installation of all items to be included. We plan, co-ordinate with suppliers and staff to ensure every detail is perfect to completion. This phase begins during construction, with our team taking over fully after the building has been completed.
