CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE?

‘Design Solutions’ provides you with plans and designs, which you can implement as your time and budget allows.

We will design your space, and create floor plans and 3D visuals, allowing you to visualise design concepts, imagine your home and give you confidence to move forwards with the work.

We can work with you in person or virtually, either on single rooms or whole house renovations or new builds.

3D VISUALISATIONS

OUR PROCESS

1. Discussion

We begin with a Client Brief to fully understand your vision and needs. We’ll cover initial ideas, budget, timescales, and consider support needed from other professionals.

2. Design Concept

We present design ideas with 3D visuals to help you envision your space. Concept designs show how the home will function (e.g. kitchens, bathrooms, and furniture layout).

3. Design Revisions

You’ll have time to consider the design and have further discussions before we make updates. Revisions are made based on your feedback to refine the design.

4. Issue of Designs

We deliver final plans and visuals, outlining a clear path for the project. This enables you to implement the designs at your own pace and within your budget.

YOUR QUESTIONS

How is Design Solutions different from your other services, and is it right for me?

Design Solutions offers 3D designs to help you visualise your space and make key decisions about layout, flow, and furniture placement. It’s ideal if you’re comfortable managing the build yourself but want to finalise major decisions in advance.

It’s also perfect for those who want expert guidance on critical spaces, and knowing their home will practically work for them, while managing the final selection of kitchens, bathrooms, furniture and decor independently.

If you’re seeking more comprehensive support, including specifications, supply, and installation, our Design + Delivery service manages the entire process.

Alternatively, if it’s more immediate verbal advice you need, we offer Consultations over Zoom to guide you through your project.

Do you offer a virtual service?

Yes, we work with many clients remotely. As long as we have accurate measurements – either from architects’ CAD drawings or a site survey – we can fully support your project via Zoom calls, providing the same level of guidance and design expertise.

What's the cost?

Our fees vary depending on the size of the project, if it’s a large extension or a smaller interior remodel, and whether we work with you in person or virtually.

We know it’s helpful to have an idea of costs, so book a Discovery Call to discuss your project, and where possible we’ll provide a ballpark based on similar past projects.

Can Design Solutions be applied to a single room?

Absolutely! While we often work on larger projects, Design Solutions can be tailored to single-room spaces, particularly for rooms like large kitchens, bathrooms, open-plan living areas, or bedrooms where there are significant layout decisions to make.

This service is especially valuable for spaces that require bespoke joinery or creative design solutions to optimise the layout and functionality.

Can I customise the services I need?

Our Design Solutions service is centred around a core offering that ensures a clear, efficient process, helping to keep costs manageable.

All of our design work is done in 3D, with every project beginning by focusing on spatial planning – whether it’s for a single room or an entire home. This includes both furniture layout and structural adjustments.

For clients who want more, we offer add-ons such as lighting ideas, decor concepts, and fitted joinery design, but these are only available to Design Solutions clients.

Do you handle the implementation of the designs?

For Design Solutions clients, we don’t have direct contact with your contractors. Our design work is completed well before the build begins, to get you ready with a set of concept design plans, to share with your architect or contractor.

If you would like further project support, we do offer the opportunity to book up to three ‘Design Insights Hour’s at a reduced rate. These are our one hour Zoom consultations, and we can discuss your project and cover any areas you are needing help with. The sessions must be booked within 18 months of completing the design work.

If you’re looking for full implementation support, our Design + Delivery service provides this, including detailed specifications, selections and management of the interior fit out. We assess project feasibility for this service based on the timeline, fit-out budget, and scope of work, as we typically focus on high-end bespoke installations.

How long does the Design Solutions process take?

For smaller projects, the process typically takes 2-3 weeks from the initial brief to the final designs. Larger projects, such as whole homes, usually take 4-6 weeks. This allows time for us to create the drawings, for you to review and digest the visuals, and for revisions to ensure the designs are exactly right.

The timeline begins once we have your CAD drawings or a site survey, and after our first call is scheduled. Occasionally, the process may take longer if we’re waiting on details from you, such as appliance choices or furniture dimensions to include in the designs.

What's included in the design pack?

The Design Pack includes a 2D plan showing any walls that we propose are altered, which you can then discuss with your architect, architectural technician, or structural engineer. The main feature is the 3D visuals, which is sent as a link that you can open in a web browser. This allows you to explore the space, take dimensions, and view the layout from different angles.

Detailed 2D drawings aren’t included in the basic pack to keep costs down, as the 3D visuals cover all key aspects. If you need additional 2D elevations or furniture layout plans, these can be added as an extra service within the Design Solutions service.
