Concept Development

During the Concept Design stage, Holford Interiors develops space standards and planning layouts that optimize functionality, efficiency, and spatial relationships. The design is refined in coordination with the client to secure approval on the space planning and finish selections. Upon final client approval, the layout and finishes are formally frozen, allowing the project to progress seamlessly to the next stage.

Design Development

By the completion of the Design Development stage, we prepare detailed design and development drawings for client review and approval, supported by 3D visuals of key areas to confirm the final design intent. Proposed furniture selections are presented, along with agreement on procurement strategy. A preliminary cost plan or revalidated budget is submitted for client approval, including alignment on project timelines. Materials are finalised through presentation boards and detailed finishes schedules to support both approval and costing.

All layouts, finishes, and drawings are formally approved and signed off, establishing a design freeze prior to progressing to the next stage. In parallel, the project program is revalidated, and MEP drawings are reviewed to assess and coordinate any impact on the overall design.

Detailed Design

By the completion of Detailed Design stage, detailed drawings for costing purposes and comprehensive specification sheets for approved materials are prepared, while obtaining client sign-off. Preparation of construction documentation and specifications that clearly define the nature of the works, along with design intent drawings for specialists as identified by the client is also prepared. Additionally, we prepare appropriate schedules for various elements of the design, and produce interior design drawings suitable for submission to the relevant authorities / stakeholders.
