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.
