What is design & Fit-Out?
The design and fit-out delivery method is a shift from the more traditional design, tender and build delivery of builders or contractors.
The design and fit-out contract is carried out by an interior fit-out compnay, that specialist in the interior finishes of a building rather than the external structure.
Costs and Budget Management
The total costs of a project are more apparent earlier with the design & fit-out approach.
In traditional design-tender-build, construction costs are not know until tenders are received and it is possible to spend money on a design that the client can afford.
All too often, tenders exceed the client's budget and the project must be redesigned creating delays for completion.
Discussing the budget during the design phase (not waiting until the tenders come int) helps keep the project within a realistic budget.
Communicating the cost implications of design ensures that the client plays a key role in arriving at the final project price.
Once the scope of works has been finalised, the project costs have already been defined by the client and fi-out company. This helps to ensure a budget is set an any over runs or extras rarely occur, unless the client makes a change.
Single Point of Responsibility
One bum to kick - OURS!
Our approach provides a single turnkey solution for your interior fit-out project.
In the classic design-tender-build method the client must select an architect / designer / quantity surveyor / m&e consultant, finalise the design, tender the project, select a builder or contractor and then manage all parties themselves.
Our design and fit-out method brings all parties together for the customer, taking the stress away from them.
Communication & Implementation
Improved Communication
We bring all parties to the table, allowing for the exchange of knowledge and information, which brings transparency and cohesion so everyone knows what part they play in your project.
Project Time Frame
The design & fit-out method allows for work to begin on site earlier than traditional ways, as the design and procurement stage have already been completed, thereby allowing the work to go ahead.
Project Quality
Interior fit-out companies focus on the finer details and concentrate on ensuring the design is fitted to the highest standard. Traditional builders only bring work to a certain stage.
Conclusion
Not all projects require the traditional design-tender-build method. You can choose which type best suits you.
One of the biggest benefits you have with a design and fit-out project is that you tend to have more control over how things look and what your budget is set at.
