Services05 scopes of work

Five ways to work with the studio.

Every scope below states what is included and — more usefully — what is not. An enquiry for work we do not do costs you more time than a short list costs us.

01

Full home interiors

End-to-end design for a whole residence, from planning through to the day the furniture arrives.

Duration
18–28 WEEKS
Fee basis
A design fee charged per square foot of treated area, quoted as a fixed sum once the scope is agreed at consultation. Execution is billed separately and at cost against the priced specification, so what you pay a supplier is what the supplier charged.

Full scope

Included

  • Site survey and measured drawings
  • Space planning and furniture layouts
  • Concept presentation with material direction
  • Full material, finish and fixture specification
  • Bespoke joinery design and shop drawings
  • Lighting layout and electrical setting-out
  • Procurement schedule and supplier coordination
  • Site supervision through execution
  • Styling and handover

Not included

  • Structural engineering and statutory approvals
  • HVAC design and civil works
  • Society permissions and municipal liaison

02

Kitchens and modular joinery

Kitchens, wardrobes and storage designed around how the household actually uses them, then built to drawing.

Duration
8–12 WEEKS
Fee basis
A fixed design fee per running foot of joinery, quoted from the measured survey. Fabrication and installation are quoted separately once the shop drawings are signed off.

Full scope

Included

  • Appliance and services planning
  • Ergonomic layout and counter heights set to the client
  • Carcass, shutter and hardware specification
  • Shop drawings for the fabricator
  • Finish samples for sign-off
  • Installation supervision and snagging

Not included

  • Appliance supply unless separately agreed
  • Plumbing and electrical first-fix

03

Commercial fit-outs

Workplaces, clinics and retail interiors planned around operations first and finished to take commercial wear.

Duration
14–24 WEEKS
Fee basis
A percentage of the total fit-out value, stepping down as the value rises, agreed before appointment. For phased works we quote each phase separately so you are never committed beyond the phase in progress.

Full scope

Included

  • Occupancy and circulation planning
  • Services coordination with consultants
  • Acoustic and lighting strategy
  • Commercial-grade material specification
  • Signage and wayfinding direction
  • Phased execution programme

Not included

  • Statutory submission fees and landlord charges
  • MEP, structural and fire consultancy
  • IT and AV infrastructure

04

Consultation only

A single paid session and a written direction, for clients who want to execute the work themselves.

Duration
ONE SESSION
Fee basis
A fixed fee per session, payable in advance and credited in full against a full-scope appointment made within three months.

Full scope

Included

  • One site visit or studio session
  • Verbal direction on layout, light and material
  • A written summary with a material direction
  • A supplier and trade shortlist

Not included

  • Drawings, specification or procurement
  • Site supervision

05

Turnkey execution

Design and build under one contract: the studio carries the trades, the programme and the budget.

Duration
22–34 WEEKS
Fee basis
The design fee as for full home interiors, plus a management fee charged as a percentage of executed value. All trade and supplier invoices are passed through at cost and shown to you in full.

Full scope

Included

  • Everything in full home interiors
  • Contractor and trade appointment
  • Programme management and weekly reporting
  • Budget tracking with variation sign-off
  • Quality checks at each stage
  • Snagging and defect resolution after handover

Not included

  • Structural works and statutory fees
  • Society deposits and permissions
  • Projects designed by another studio
