Structure of a Consultation

Share the story of the space, covering the what, where, when, how, and most importantly, the why. Provide the floor plan, site photos, and project requirements. Initial ideas are welcome! You can use the prompt ‘What is the average day like for you when you use the space?’ as a guide.

Brief

At this point, we're going over the design details you shared and diving into the specifics to better understand the help you need. Our aim is to make sure we're on the same page with the vision for the project.

Discourse

  • Both has its pros and cons!

    On-site Consultation

    • Pros: It depends per person, but some people converse better in person, and they’re able to visualize the space better when it’s face to face. It is our preferred method for fit-outs and bare unit projects since most clients need help laying out furniture pieces, and it can get overwhelming when the unit is still empty and bare.

    • Cons: I is more expensive and energy consuming because of the travel time, but this is also dependent on the client’s preference and availability.

    Online Consultation

    • Pros: Generally easier to schedule sans the travel and commute factor! Our preferred method for renovations, since physical visits maybe invasive since the space is already constantly used.

    • Cons: There are limitations with general and visual communication when the consultation is remote, since we are designing a 3D space. Photos and videos can still be utilized, but at times these medium cannot fully communicate what the parties want to say. We compensate this by doing 3D modeling and/or sketches, or send product references for the client’s easier understanding.
