OUR METHOD

Five phases,
one thread.

We've refined the same five-phase process across every project type, from a single room to a ground-up hospitality build. It keeps clients informed at each stage and keeps the original design intent intact all the way through to handover.

01

DISCOVERY

Understanding the brief

We start with a detailed conversation about how the space will be used, who it's for, and what success looks like — followed by a site visit and measurement survey.

1–2 weeks  ·  Client, Design Lead

  • Client brief & requirements document
  • Site survey & measured drawings
  • Budget & timeline alignment
02

CONCEPT

Developing the idea

Our team develops spatial layouts, mood boards and an initial design direction — presented as concept boards and rough 3D visuals for feedback.

3–4 weeks  ·  Design Team

  • Concept mood boards & material palette
  • Preliminary layout options
  • Early 3D visualisations
03

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Refining every detail

The approved concept is developed into detailed drawings — finalising materials, furniture, lighting and joinery, coordinated with structural and MEP consultants.

4–6 weeks  ·  Design & Technical Team

  • Detailed working drawings
  • Final material & finish schedules
  • Structural & MEP coordination
04

EXECUTION

Bringing it to site

Our project management team coordinates contractors and vendors, running regular site visits to ensure what gets built matches what was designed.

Varies by scope  ·  Project Management Team

  • Contractor & vendor management
  • Weekly site supervision reports
  • Quality & budget checks
05

HANDOVER

Styling & delivery

Final styling, snagging and a detailed walkthrough with the client — followed by documentation for maintenance and future reference.

1–2 weeks  ·  Design & Project Team

  • Final styling & snagging
  • Client walkthrough
  • Maintenance documentation

GOOD TO KNOW

A few notes on
timelines.

PROJECT SIZE VARIES

A single room can move through all five phases in as little as 8 weeks; a ground-up build can take a year or more.

YOU'RE INVOLVED THROUGHOUT

Each phase ends with a review meeting, so nothing moves to the next stage without your sign-off.

ONE POINT OF CONTACT

A single design lead stays with your project from the first meeting through to handover.
