04. Process

How we work together.

A clear path from first conversation to final handover. You always know what comes next, and you decide how far the project goes.

01

Discovery call

A complimentary 15–30 minute online conversation. We learn about your project, your challenge and your timing, and you get a sense of how we work. It’s an introduction, not a design session.

02

Assessment & proposal

We recommend the right way to engage, whether remote, on-site or hybrid, and gather what we need. You receive a tailored proposal setting out the scope, deliverables, phases, timeline, fee and what’s included.

03

Consultancy & strategy

We review, research and assess (on site where needed), then define what should change, why, and the recommended way forward. For many clients, this is a complete result in itself.

04

Concept developmentOptional

Where commissioned, we translate the strategy into tangible design, such as schematic layouts, visuals, identity or material direction.

05

Refinement & handover

Concept work includes two structured rounds of revisions, and written consultancy includes a round of clarification. Every major output is reviewed by our creative director before you receive the final files.

06

OversightOptional

Your appointed technical team develops the concept for construction and approvals. If you’d like, we can visit during implementation to keep the design intent intact.

Before we begin

What helps us give good advice.

We’ll ask for what’s relevant to your project. If we can’t advise responsibly from what we have, we’ll ask for more or suggest a visit.

Refinement is included. Redirection is additional work.

If the direction changes significantly after a concept has been agreed, we’ll scope the new work with you before continuing.
