At The Design Service we believe 'A good designer should save you time and money'

We can provide: 

Spatial planning 

Lighting Design 

Mechanical / electrical and furniture layout planning with 3D visuals. 

Selection and specification of materials and finishes for example; curtains, blinds, furnishings, lighting, furniture, wallcoverings and floorcoverings

 Complete finish and site management.

Design Stage  Initial meeting (free) in which the brief is defined, budgets and a breakdown of fees are established.  Location: On site or if this isn't possible at our office.  

Ideas meeting in which mood boards are presented with basic layouts and drawings.  Once ideas are approved and depending upon the projects requirements, this may be followed by a detailed drawing meeting in which the drawings and sample boards are finalised.  The drawings can be presented in plan and 3D format, either hand or CAD drawn
