How we work

Step by step

  1. 01

    1–2 weeks

    Business analysis

    Before layouts: what the space must earn. Guest flow, seats per square meter, service paths, peak hours, what your brand promises before anyone reads a word.

    • Free introductory consultation
    • Business goals, target guest and positioning
    • Capacity and customer journey analysis
    • Site survey and technical constraints
    • Budget framework and opening date

    You get: a brief tied to revenue, not just aesthetics.

  2. 02

    2–4 weeks

    Concept & brand fit

    The idea the space is built around — and how it carries your brand. Layout options tested against real operations: can staff move, can guests find the entrance, does the queue block the till.

    • Zoning and layout options with capacity counts
    • Concept board tied to your brand identity
    • Material palette that survives commercial use
    • Lighting scenarios for day and evening

    You get: an approved concept your team and your landlord both understand.

  3. 03

    2–3 weeks

    Visualization

    Photorealistic views of the finished space — for you, for investors, for the landlord, and for the marketing you will run before opening day.

    • Key views of every zone
    • Real, specified products and finishes
    • Images you can use for pre-opening promotion

    You get: a space you can show before it exists.

  4. 04

    3–5 weeks

    Technical documentation

    A complete Revit BIM set coordinated with engineers — ventilation, extraction, water supply for food points, refrigeration, electrics. The drawings your fit-out team quotes and builds from.

    • Construction and demolition plans
    • Coordination with HVAC, electrical and plumbing engineers
    • Custom joinery and bar/counter drawings
    • Equipment placement and specifications
    • Documentation for permits and inspections

    You get: a set that holds up to contractor quotes and safety approvals.

  5. 05

    for the length of the works

    Fit-out & supervision

    The stage where delays cost you rent. We keep the site aligned with the drawings and the schedule aligned with your opening date.

    • Contractor selection and quote comparison
    • Equipment and material procurement
    • Regular site visits and progress control
    • Quality control against the documentation
    • Snagging list and handover

    You get: an opening that happens on schedule, not two months late.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Can you work within our existing brandbook?

Yes — and it usually makes the project faster and cheaper, because the visual direction is already decided. If you have an approved interior guideline, the design cost drops significantly. Our commercial calculator accounts for this.

We are opening several locations. Can you standardise the concept?

That is one of our strongest formats. We design the first location as a replicable standard, then adapt it to each new site. Repeat locations are priced substantially lower than the first.

Who handles ventilation, electrics and permits?

Licensed engineers do the engineering; we coordinate them and integrate their work into one documentation set. Engineering contractors are quoted separately and aren't included in the design fee.

How fast can you work if our rent-free period is short?

Tell us the opening date at the first meeting. We can front-load layout and key drawings so demolition and rough works start while detailing continues.
