Design & delivery process

  1. Initial consult & m2 audit (on-site or virtual)
  2. Concept design & sustainability brief
  3. Detailed plans, schedules and cost guide
  4. Procurement, local trades management & handover

Typical timeline: 4–12 weeks depending on scope.

Cost drivers (where m2 matters)

Removing load-bearing partitions impacts cost per m2 more than finishes; we advise minimal structural moves where possible.

Heating, ventilation and insulation upgrades influence running costs and return on investment per m2.

Specifying low-VOC, recycled or certified timber can moderate cost while delivering sustainability gains.
