From first meeting to handover: how an interior project runs

What happens at each stage of a design-and-build interior project, and what you will be asked to decide along the way.

A well-run interior project follows a predictable path. Knowing it helps you plan decisions, payments and your move-in date.

1. Consultation and site visit

We understand how you live or work, measure the space and discuss budget and timelines.

2. Design

Space planning, concept, 3D visualisations and a material and finish schedule. You approve the design before anything is ordered.

3. Plan

The project team prepares the execution strategy: detailed drawings, bill of quantities, schedule, vendor and material coordination.

4. Execute

Supervisors coordinate daily site activity — civil, electrical and plumbing, false ceiling, carpentry, painting and finishes — in the right order so trades don't undo each other's work.

5. Deliver

Snagging, deep cleaning and a walkthrough with you. Management stays accountable for the whole project through handover.

What you will be asked to decide

  • Layout and design sign-off (before execution)
  • Finishes: laminates, stone, paint shades, fabrics
  • Appliances and fittings, so services are placed correctly

The fewer decisions left until site work starts, the smoother and faster the project runs.
