The Process

All of our projects begin at the design phase and at Divine Interior Décor we offer this service at the highest level. Our exquisite interior designers will work with you to turn your project into an aesthetic, practical and successful design.

Our qualified design team pride themselves on their continuing professional development and in depth training  ensuring they  produce better living environments for today’s lifestyle. ​From design, your project will then move forward into the construction phase, where our experienced Site Manager oversees all of the construction work and co-ordinates and schedules all trades to ensure quality is maintained and a seamless flow throughout the project.

So you know exactly what to expect from our design and construct service here is a step-by-step: 
INITIAL CONSULTATION

During this consultation our qualified interior designers will assess the property, review and consult on house plans and discuss your project requirements in detail. By talking with you we will establish your individual requirements for the space, the function of the room/s, layout options, aesthetics, your must haves and your wish list. If commissioned we are qualified to provide design services and selections for any room within the home.

CLIENT AGREEMENT

Following the initial consultation we will present you with a client proposal agreement, which once agreed upon commissions us to proceed with the design. The agreement outlines the scope of works for the design and the associated fees, which is based upon the estimated amount of working hours of the project. Divine Interior Décor works on both small and large-scale projects and our fees are calculated based on the scope of work.

CONCEPT

During the Concept stage of the design process we will survey the property, establish the design brief and produce concept drawings for your project. In our studio we will present our preliminary design proposal.

The proposed design encapsulates your wants and individual requirements all ascertained in the brief. We will explain our thinking behind the design and present our concepts and recommendations. 

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

During the Design Development Stage the design is further developed and any necessary modifications are made to the design. Prior to providing the final quotation, all drawings and specifications including finishes and fixtures are finalized. A site meeting with relevant trades will be required to establish costs associated with the project.

FINAL APPROVAL

A detailed quotation including a complete specification schedule and scope of works for the project are then issued. To engage our services for the construction works and commission us to carry out the project we require completion of a approved contract, approval and sign off of all drawings and specifications as well as an initial deposit of 5-10% depending on the total project cost. At this stage we will also discuss a proposed timeline for construction and to co-ordinate the project from start to finish.
