Process
1 Brief
We meet at your location, chat through your project to define your scope of work and what involvement you expect from us.
2 Fee Estimate
After our scope is established for your project and the level of input require from DCI is defined, we can prepare on request, a fee estimate of our time specific to your project. This will ensure everything sits within your expectations.
3 Concept
We will review architectural plans, discuss your brief, and produce a selection of suitable materials and finishes which we then present to you for initial feedback.
4 Hard Fit Out Development
Once an agreed style and look is established we further develop these concepts and provide detailed documentation and markups on finishes selected for exterior, interior, vertical surfaces, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, fittings, hardware, lighting, kitchen and bathrooms etc.
5 Soft Fit Out Development
Once the hard fit out is decided on we then specify furniture, fabrics, window treatments and accessories suggestions. This often involves a combination of customized pieces and off the shelf solutions. Our selections are then scheduled and presented for your feedback.
Once quotes have been accepted we will manage the ordering, delivery and install process to coincide with your completion dates.
6 Documentation
For new builds and renovations, we provide full documentation for your builder and trades. This includes all items specified by our team, comprehensive drawings, with materials and finishes.
