Design Procedure
Once you have identified your need from the above list, the next step is to form in your mind an idea as to
what you want your new premises to be along the lines of (ie, traditional, contemporary, complete one-off, etc.)
and the more information you can provide at the start of a project, the more smoothly a project will run, saving time and money.
The information you gather and supply to the designer is commonly known as a design brief.
Design Brief
The design brief includes information such as
- Style of interior required
- Type of clientele/customer to be catered for
- Type and range of Product
- Preferable colour schemes
- Security considerations
- Local planning considerations
- Approximate budget available
Once the design brief as been taken from the client, the rest of the design procedure is continued in the following order:
Sketch Work
The sketch work allows the Client to establish and agree upon basic likes/dislikes/finishes/appearance of the interior/cabinets, etc.
Perspective Drawings
Perspective line drawings or perspective coloured visuals are carried out once a general design and finish has been agreed upon in order to give the client a better idea of the finished look.
Perspective line & Color Drawing
Full Working Drawings
