How can you ensure your workplace project runs smoothly?

A workplace project shapes an organisation for years. It influences how people work, how talent is attracted, and how the business presents itself.
The challenge
Most clients aren’t workplace specialists. And managing a complex project alongside running their business quickly becomes a risk.
That’s why we created our Design Checkpoint system.
The process breaks projects into four clear design stages, each with defined milestones and checkpoint meetings. Every step has a purpose. Every decision is reviewed and closed before moving forward.
Design Stage A – Concept Design
Here we lock in your plan layout, wall locations, key feature and the first taste of the look & feel.
Design Stage B – Detailed Design
We develop detailed construction plans, furniture layouts, material details, light and feature elements
Design Stage C – Production Information
Schedules are produced ready for builders to make offers and start work, information is shared with other consultants and your project starts to become real. Detailed plans for AV are produced and wall elevations for glass walls.
Design Stage D – Interior Items
We procure furniture, special carpetnry items, plan you move, and order special design elements such as branded walls, reception counters
The result
Project momentum is constant, and surprises minimised. Our clients can stay focused on their core work, confident their workplace project is progressing smoothly and in safe hands.
