This is a great question because they will all eventually arrive at the same outcome. The short answer is your interior designer first as we can guide you through the best process for your desired outcome.

As interior designers Brisbane we have relationships with local architects and builders and can help you select the right person to suit your project. But because we work virtually across Australia, we also have fantastic connections in all major locations and the most beautiful rural areas. Of course, some clients’ come to us with have approved plans and/or a builder engaged, which is fine as well. We can flexibly work with whomever you choose.

It is best to engage your designer before you start the building work on your project. This means you can secure a quote that is as accurate as possible before you commence. Designing on the go can result in variations and increases in costs.

We are Brisbane interior designers, however, we work with clients all across Australia. Our process, whether in person or virtual, is a highly organised plan of actions so you always know where your project is in the process. The design consultation is always done face-to-face or live via Zoom and online software allows us to seamlessly deliver presentations and communication to your inbox for out-of-town projects.

Our clients are always happy with the results! And we’re often engaged to collaborate on second or third projects with clients as they relocate, upgrade their homes or purchase second or holiday homes.

You should plan on committing to an average of about three to six meetings, depending on the scope of work. These will be scheduled with you to help make choices along the way and can be either online or in person. We also follow up with status updates and progress reports on a weekly basis.

The duration of each project varies based on the individual scope of work. Design-only projects can take a matter of weeks, whereas a big project can take up to 12 months or more. On average projects take approximately four to six months.
