8 Step Process

We approach each of our projects with the following 8 step process which consists of estimations, planning & setup, process order, manufacture, inspection, installation, handover and final account.

01

Step

Estimations

Enquiry is received from either an existing client/designer or a new enquiry this project is then broken down into the various services involved to include joinery manufacture, installation/fit out, metalwork components, electrical, mechanical (AC), flooring, signage, paint/specialist finishes, sprinklers, data & security (intruder, cctv).

Each element is then issued to various sub contractors to tender, whilst the in house elements are costed by our estimator. Once all costs are returned a tender package is prepared and issued to the client for approval.

Should we be successful in being appointed either a letter of intent or purchase order is received.

02

Step

Drawing //.

All elements of the project are drawn this includes the actual space, floor plan, elevations of walls & the ceiling plan, also all fixtures and fittings/cabinetry are fully drawn in detail, showing junctions of all finishes be that glass & metalwork, sheet material & laminates/paint finishes.
