Our Process

From Concept to Reality

A clear process allows creativity, budget and construction to develop together.

01

Discovery & Planning

Understanding You and Your Space

Every project starts with understanding the property and the people who will use it.

We discuss your requirements, lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, priorities and budget.

From this, we establish the initial planning direction and develop mood boards, material ideas and visual references.

02

Concept Design

Giving the Project Its Identity

The first design begins to take shape.

We develop furniture layouts and initial 2D drawings while defining the main materials, finishes, colours and overall design direction.

This stage establishes the character and visual language of the project.

03

Design Development

Developing Every Detail

Once the concept is established, we develop the project in detail.

Technical drawings, carpentry details, lighting, finishes, materials and furniture selections are prepared.

Where required, 3D visualizations are developed to present the finished concept before construction begins.

04

Costing & Preparation

Turning the Design into a Real Project

Design decisions are translated into real project requirements.

Quotations for materials, furniture and construction works can be prepared, allowing the scope and costs to be reviewed before execution begins.

05

Realization

From Drawings to the Finished Space

This is where the design becomes reality.

DA Design and Build can undertake the renovation and construction works directly or provide project management while working with contractors selected by the client.

Throughout the realization stage, we coordinate with the teams involved and monitor the design details to maintain the original vision through to completion.
