Our Commercial Interior Design Process
Step 1: Site visit & initial consultation
We begin with an on-site consultation to understand the existing space, building constraints and operational requirements. This stage focuses on defining business goals, project scope, budget parameters and compliance considerations specific to Sydney and New South Wales.
Step 2: Concept design & planning
Concept design translates the project brief into a clear spatial vision. We develop layout options, planning strategies and early design concepts that align with brand identity, workflow and user experience.
Step 3: Design documentation & compliance
Approved concepts are refined into detailed design solutions, including material selections, joinery details and furniture layouts. We prepare detailed construction drawings suitable for pricing, approvals and construction.
Step 4: Certification & approvals
We coordinate compliance documentation aligned with NCC, BCA, Australian Standards and Sydney council or building management requirements. This stage supports DA + CC and CDC submissions, public authority approvals and consultant coordination where required.
Step 5: Design Support During Fit-out
During fit-out, we work closely with builders, shopfitters and consultants to ensure the design intent is delivered accurately.
