How do we work together on a full interior project?

MARG.Studio has a streamlined process we follow on all projects because we know it delivers the best design results for our clients.

We don’t cut corners or water down the detail to save on time or money. We design once and we design well.

At MARG.Studios and we are fully committed to providing you with impeccable service and exceptional outcomes and we know how to get this done.

After you’ve taken the first step and booked your FREE 30min consult and you’re interested in working with us, it’s time to take the next step.

 
 
 

Here’s an idea on how the process plays out on most design projects…

 
  • The purpose of this phase is to get to know one another and establish a firm understanding of what is required for the project. This includes getting a solid understanding of your requirements, budget and timeline so we can determine the feasibility of your project.

    Once we’ve established how your project will run we work on getting the overall look and feel of your project together.

    We come to you with a concept presentation which may include mood boards, design inspiration, sketches and samples of materials and finishes. Together we review and refine what works for you and what needs further thought.

    Stage 1 - Initial Consultation on site

    Stage 2 - Briefing, Concept & Schematic

    Fee - Stage 1 is charged at a flat fee of $800 which covers the time and expertise it takes to produce your Proposal (including a detailed Fee Estimate of service for Stages 2-9.)

    Deliverables - Proposal (Return Brief, Scope of Works, Fee Estimate), Concept Design, Schematic Plans.

  • With your feedback and approval, we move forward to detail your project further. For us, this involves plenty of research, planning and design thinking to ensure we have all we need to complete a smooth build.

    We will be working with trades, specialists and craftsman to refine your budget to keep us on track within the overall project.

    Stage 3 - Design Development

    Stage 4 - Design Documentation

    Stage 5 - Tender & Estimation

    Deliverables - Technical Drawing Package, FF&E Schedules, Budget Estimate

  • Now, the moment you have been waiting, saving and planning for. We execute all the details of the design to make sure your project is exactly as you imagined. This includes corresponding with trades and specialists on any issues that arise on site so you can have peace of mind.

    Stage 6 - Design Management (Build + Procurement)

    Stage 7 - Handover

    Deliverables - Request for Information (RFIs), Site Visits
