We visit, measure and survey the site, agree the specification, and issue a bill of quantities with every line priced.

Every joint, reveal and hinge drawn at 1:5. You sign the drawing set, not a mood board, before anything is cut.

02QuestionsAsked before signing

About the programme

How long does a fit-out take?

About fourteen weeks for a typical job, in six phases from survey to handover. Bigger jobs take longer and small ones less. Your own programme is drawn up from the survey and dated when you sign.

What do I sign before work starts?

The shop drawings: every joint, reveal and hinge at 1:5. Nothing is cut until you have signed them.

What happens if a date slips?

We tell you the day it slips, and what we are doing about it.

Who makes the joinery?

Partner workshops, to our shop drawings. Each piece is dry-fitted before it reaches site.

Who runs the job day to day?

One project manager, from the survey to the handover walk-through. You have one number to call.

What happens after handover?

A quality inspection and a full set of operation and maintenance manuals, then a fit-out warranty and maintenance. We stay on call after we leave site.
