Stage by stage
Six stages, each ending in a document you can check, price or build from. Nothing moves forward until the previous output is approved in writing.
Every wall, window opening, ceiling height, riser and load-bearing element measured on site and drawn to scale.
Dimensioned survey drawing
Two or three plans drawn on the same survey base, compared for circulation, storage and daylight with an area table.
Comparative layout set
Finishes chosen room by room and listed with supplier reference, quantity and lead time for every line.
Material schedule, priced
Each agreed room rendered from its main sightlines so proportions, joinery and lighting can be judged before work starts.
Rendered views per room
The set your builders price and build from: demolition, partitions, electrical, plumbing, ceiling and floor drawings with junction details.
Working documentation set
After each scheduled visit you get photographs, any deviation from the drawings and a short list of open decisions.
Written visit report
Fees split three ways: design paid to the studio, construction paid to your contractors, materials paid to your suppliers. The studio takes no supplier commission, and no stage includes structural sign-off or permit handling.
Site coordination
Coordination begins once the working documentation set is released. Each trade receives its own written scope before it starts on site, so no crew works from a verbal brief or a superseded drawing.
Site visits follow the checkpoints set in the working drawings, usually every 7 to 10 days. Design fees are paid to the studio, construction payments go directly to contractors, and materials are paid to suppliers, so the visit record stays independent of any order value.

Each visit is booked at a checkpoint named in the working drawings: demolition complete, partitions set out, first fix open, screed cured, finishes starting. The date is confirmed in writing two weeks ahead, and the site visit report is issued within two working days.
The scope sheet states quantities, the material schedule positions it references, tolerances, and the acceptance criteria for handover. It is issued to the contractor and to you on the same day, with a version number and a date.
Every report lists what was completed since the last visit, what is behind, and which drawings or samples the crew still needs. Deviations from the working documentation are marked on the relevant sheet rather than described only in words.
Unresolved questions sit in a single list with an owner and a date. Nothing closes on a phone call. If a decision is yours, it appears in the report with the date it must be answered to keep the sequence intact.
Scope boundaries
A studio that claims to cover everything usually subcontracts the parts it cannot control. We keep the boundary explicit, so you always know which contract you are signing and who answers for which stage.
Everything we hand over is document-based: a dimensioned survey drawing, layout options with area calculations, a material schedule, rendered views, and a working documentation set a contractor can price from.
We do not run crews, purchase materials, or invoice for building work. Construction is contracted directly with the contractor you choose. We coordinate the design side and review progress, but we do not employ the trades.
Load-bearing changes, slab openings, and reinforcement calculations require a licensed engineer. We mark where they are needed and draw to their conclusions, but the sign-off is not ours to issue.
Approvals, building passports, and condominium consents are filed by you or by your contractor. We prepare the drawings those submissions rely on and answer the technical questions that come back.
We commit to defined deliverables per stage, not to a completion date. Site timing depends on contractor availability, deliveries, and building access, and we will not sign a date we cannot hold.
We are not paid by showrooms, brands, or contractors. Material recommendations follow the schedule, the agreed budget band, and real stock availability, and you buy directly at the price you are quoted.
