The process

No mystery between the first message and the first cut.

The steps below describe the intended workflow. Exact timing, deliverables, responsibilities, approvals, and costs are confirmed for each project in writing.

01
Initial brief

Tell us what the space needs.

Start with the project location, current photographs, approximate dimensions, desired use, timing, and any known constraints. A useful brief describes the problem before prescribing the solution.

  • City or project location
  • Photos of the room and access route
  • Rough width, height, and depth
  • Target timing and any fixed dates
  • Inspiration images, if useful
02
Fit review

Confirm whether the project is a match.

The enquiry is reviewed for type of work, location, practical scope, and current availability. More information may be requested before a consultation or site visit is proposed.

No enquiry guarantees availability, a visit, a quote, or acceptance of work.

03
Site & requirements

Verify the conditions that matter.

If the project moves forward, relevant measurements and conditions are reviewed. Depending on the work, this can include access, structure, utilities, ventilation, moisture, adjacent finishes, permits, building rules, and coordination with other trades.

Some projects may require information from an architect, engineer, licensed trade, building authority, or specialist before a responsible scope can be prepared.

04
Written scope

Put the assumptions on paper.

A proposal or estimate should identify the work being offered, material and finish assumptions, relevant allowances, exclusions, responsibilities, access needs, payment terms, and how changes are handled.

Questions belong here. A useful proposal gives both sides something specific to review before commitment.

05
Agreement

Approve the actual project terms.

The website does not create a project contract. Work begins only under a separate written agreement or accepted proposal that identifies the parties, scope, price or pricing method, schedule expectations, payment plan, and applicable warranty terms.

Credentials, permits, insurance documentation, and local requirements should be confirmed for the specific job where applicable.

06
Build & coordination

Follow the agreed sequence.

Fabrication, ordering, site protection, installation, and coordination depend on the project. Material lead times and site readiness can affect schedule, so updates and decisions should stay connected to the written scope.

Any requested change that affects work, material, price, or time should be documented before proceeding.

07
Closeout

Review the completed scope.

Closeout may include a walkthrough, agreed correction list, care information, remaining payment, and any project-specific warranty documentation. The signed project terms—not this website—control those obligations.

Prepare well

A stronger brief makes the first conversation more useful.

You do not need finished plans to make contact. A few grounded details are enough to start.

Photograph

Show the context

Include the full wall or area, nearby doors and windows, floor-to-ceiling view, and access path—not only a close-up of the problem.

Measure

Give approximate size

Rough measurements help review fit. Final dimensions, where required, should be verified during the actual project process.

Prioritize

Name the essential need

More storage, a better work surface, safer access, matching trim, or a long-lasting exterior space gives the conversation a center.

Locate

Share the project city

Service coverage and travel depend on the location. Availability is confirmed case by case.

Time

Identify fixed dates

Mention move-ins, events, business closures, or other hard deadlines early. A date is not accepted until it appears in written terms.

Reference

Explain what you like

Inspiration is useful when paired with reasons: proportions, storage pattern, color, wood character, or hardware—not only a picture.
