RESEARCH
After the initial visit, we delve into detailed discussions to prepare the Scope of Work, outlining the project's objectives and deliverables. Once the SOW is presented and approved, contracts are signed and the the design payment is received, marking the official commencement of the project. Client Interviews are conducted to gather feedback and insights to inform the design process effectively.

Execution of construction and renovation work begins, alongside the ongoing procurement process, ensuring that all elements of the project are seamlessly integrated. During this period and throughout the process, our team provides weekly updates to our clients to keep them up to date with any progress or changes to the project.

DEVELOPMENT
This leads us into Trade Day, where we coordinate with tradespeople. From here we initiate the execution of construction documents and begin preparations for the Presentation of Design. This sets the stage for smooth integration of design and construction, readying for the forthcoming Design Presentation, revisions and final approval.
