Handbook

The classic term “design project” is understood to mean a thoroughly articulated concept of space design, a complete set of documents necessary for carrying out construction and finishing works to create the proposed interior design of a space.

The document package necessarily includes:

• A plan for the construction of partitions and a description of the materials required for this;
• A plan for the layout of in-house technical communications;
• Schemes for selecting wall, floor, and ceiling finishes;
• Proposals for the design of door and window openings;
• Schemes for selecting the texture and color of furniture, textiles, and decor elements.

In the modern range of design services, truncated versions of design projects are available, among which each client can choose the most acceptable option. These will be discussed later.

Work on a design project starts long before sketching.

Before starting work on a private space, the main task of a designer is to thoroughly identify the customer’s needs, define the project’s tasks, and provide their high-quality professional solution.

4 Key Tasks Solved by Having a Design Project A well-developed and compiled package of documents before the start of creating an interior simultaneously solves 4 important tasks:

1. Helps to define and adjust the budget of expenses, material resources, and time at the planning stage. On average, creating the interior of a private house takes from 3 to 9 months and involves a significant amount of money. Determining the financial budget before starting work allows the client to decide in advance on the amount they are willing to spend on housing arrangement, work out options for its optimization, clarify funding sources for the project to ensure that the renovation does not suddenly stop at a crucial point just because the money for its completion unexpectedly ran out. Before starting the project, the designer determines with the client an approximate financial corridor in which he can develop acceptable cost options for materials. An experienced specialist can always offer the client a stylish interior with an acceptable budget.
2. The complete project documentation package necessarily includes documents in all areas of renovation. A design project is a comprehensive solution prepared by professionals with knowledge of all stages of construction and design work, so the process of recreating the interior will exclude inconsistencies, force majeure, and incorrect placement of engineering systems. This approach significantly saves finances, time, and nerves on redoing poor-quality work.
3. A developed design project is a guarantee of the quality of construction and design work. Having a plan for the future interior, a description of the used materials with all technical characteristics, it is easy to control the actual quality of the work done, promptly identify deviations, and demand their correction.
4. The goal of a harmonious design project is to create a comfortable, convenient, and practical interior for living first and foremost. At the same time, the proposed design should be beautiful, stylish, and original.

Main and Additional Forms of Design Projects Sometimes, planning a change in the interior, a client is not ready to use the full design project service. In this case, they can use “lighter” versions of professional assistance from specialists.

We offer to choose one of 4 options:

1. Consultation. Any redecoration of a separate room and the entire residence is recommended to start with a conversation with a designer. This will help to get the most up-to-date information about trends, novelties, styles, prices, implementation possibilities of the client’s wishes, materials, terms, and works. For preparing a cosmetic renovation, this will be sufficient.
2. Sketch Design Project. This form is needed by those who want to take an active part in bringing their dream home to life. The sketch package includes: object analysis, creation of a measuring plan, planning solution, recommendations for the arrangement of equipment and furniture. The block of technical documentation – drawings and technical plans can be performed independently by the client. The final decoration of the interior – the choice and purchase of necessary materials and items, decorating rooms – also remains for the client’s independent work. This form of professional help from designers can be used by those who do not plan to re-plan the premises, replace in-house technical communications.
3. Full Design Project. It includes: analysis of the object with the subsequent preparation of the technical task; a full package of drawings and construction documentation; a planning solution based on the measurement plan; sketches of interiors with the arrangement of equipment and furniture; recommendations for decorating with attached specifications for recommended materials with articles and prices. For preparation for renovation with re-planning of premises, replacement of electrical wiring, plumbing pipes, this form of design project is necessary.
4. “Turnkey” Design Project. It combines such services from specialists: a technical task prepared based on a thorough analysis of the premises and identified customer needs; a planning solution created based on the measurement plan; sketches of all rooms with the arrangement of equipment and furniture; a full package of construction documentation and drawings; decorating recommendations with attached specifications for materials, equipment, and furniture indicating articles and special “designer” prices; searching and offering the most optimal solutions for choosing materials, furniture, textiles, decor items in terms of “price/quality”, control of their delivery and compliance with the order; complete decoration of the object; author’s supervision from the beginning of work and for the first three months. For those who want to bring to life the dream of an ideal home, without delving into the complexities of the renovation process and the associated lengthy and exciting actions, this form of design project is recommended.

This project guarantees the absence of many risks and unforeseen expenses. It gives the client confidence in the safety, quality, convenience, and uniqueness of their home’s decoration and joy from owning it for many years.
