INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

CONCEPT DESIGN • DESIGN DEVELOPMENT • DETAILED DESIGN

The Design Process on every project starts by investigating our clients' wider business goals to develop a deeper understanding of our client's brand, vision and ethos.
We use proven research tools to understand your organsiation and coupled with our understanding of your building, an Accommodation Design Brief is agreed. The process then flows through defined stages where we produce material (CAD drawings, hand drawn sketches, photo-realistic images etc.) to describe our proposals and bring our ideas to life.
This is then translated into detailed architectural drawings and specifications for use in the construction phase.

SPACE PLANNING

SPACE STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT • ADJACENCIES • AGILE WORKING • SOCIAL SPACES • TEAM COLLABORATION SPACE

The Space Planning Process runs ‘hand in hand’ with the Design Process. First, we listen, then provide logical solutions to organisational issues. We produce layouts that locate people, teams, functions and facilities in the right place to allow efficient, creative interaction; spaces to collaborate and areas for quiet and concentration. This provides an environment where your business can evolve, change and continue to be successful.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

SPECIALIST TEAM SET UP • CONTRACT DOCUMENTATION & ADMINISTRATION • PROGRAMMING • COST MANAGEMENT

Although this runs through the project from the first meeting to project handover, the main components relate to ‘getting the proposals built’. We have extensive experience in managing the potential pitfalls of a project, allowing our clients to concentrate on their own business and customers.
Our ethos is to complete all projects with Quality, on Time, and in Budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL BRANDING

BRAND INCORPORATION • ARCHITECTURAL GRAPHICS

Just as you would ‘brand’ your marketing material or your website, we incorporate your Brand Image into the very fabric of your working environment. This personalises your space giving it a unique identity.

FURNITURE SPECIFICATION

FURNITURE INVENTORIES • FURNITURE PROCUREMENT

We have extensive knowledge and experience of specifying all types of furniture within the workplace. We manage the whole process of research, selection, procurement and installation including, where appropriate, showroom visits and organising mock-ups to aid the selection process.

MOVE MANAGEMENT

LOGISTICAL PLANNING • CO-ORDINATION • OVERSEEING THE WHOLE PROCESS

You will be allocated an experienced, dedicated Manager who will coordinate the whole moving process. This logistical exercise ensures that your organisation experiences minimal disruption. Whether Relocating to to new premises or Reorganising your existing space, a Move Management Strategy Plan is developed involving furniture, filing, technology and, of course, people. All coming together to ensure that your business ‘hits the ground running’ on day-one in your new environment.

APPROVALS

LOCAL AUTHORITY LIAISON, including LANDLORD APPROVALS, PLANNING APPROVAL , BUILDING CONTROL APPROVAL

Most changes to your working environment will need formal approval from various governing bodies. Ranging from Local Authority Planning and Building Regulations to Landlord Approvals to Health and Safety Requirements, we will guide you through the process.

PROJECT ENROLMENT

COMMUNICATION • PEOPLE SEMINARS • INTERACTION • INVOLVEMENT

Any change to your working environment can potentially unsettle your people and consequently, your business. Our experience of helping our clients to enrol their people into the process can help everyone to positively embrace these changes.
This collaborative approach puts people at the heart of the process, ensuring that information is managed during presentations and workshops with your people.
