THE PROBLEM
Output can only be as good as the input, yet information about projects is gathered through a disjointed process, in trickles and by many. Ambiguity in initial information leads to loss of time, increasing costs and a project that does not fulfill its full potential.
THE SOLUTION
A comprehensive and wide-ranging set of information is produced and tailored to the Client's specific requirements, by means of a well structured and personalised process before designers are approached, comprising Client's aspirations, property details and essential third party input adopted in line with the project needs.
Why Us
We are not bidding for the full project or lengthy engagement. Instead, our services focus on the initial stages, getting the Client prepared and the project set up for a limited, pre-agreed fixed fee.
Our experience, point of view and approach comes directly from the design world. Our architectural and design background allows us to apply our knowledge and experience, simplify the process, with our input being directly transferable to the design journey that is to follow.
Our services and advice are independent, unbiased and not a sales pitch. If requested, we will help decipher the sales pitches from the design team submissions, and ensure that what is being offered is what will be delivered, or indeed needed.
We represent the Client.
