At Design & Conker Interiors, we work off recommendations and repeat business.
Yes, you do!
Designing interiors is their area of expertise and designers are best placed to make accurate ergonomic use of your space. Not only will a designer properly plan your interior but they will advise on the most suitable materials, products and finishes to achieve the look you're after. As your designer I work with you, alongside my team of trusted contractors to provide an all-inclusive Design & Build service. We manage every aspect of the project and provide a free of charge aftercare service on all projects.
Hiring an interior designer may not be as expensive as you'd think and is definitely worth the investment. I work with you on a one-to-one basis to ensure your designs align with the brief, budget and finishing standards. My fees are fixed unless your brief changes. As client and designer we engage a transparent, trusting partnership throughout the entire project.
I provide all my clients with the same level of Professional Design Management services. Regardless of project size or budget - one room or an entire property overhaul - the level of care and service is consistent.
Depending on the type of interior (kitchen lead times can be 12-16 weeks), number of rooms and if there are structural or extension works, projects can take at least 2-4 weeks to properly plan. This is a crucial pre-build stage for the smooth execution of any project. Every design, procurement, delivery and installation detail must be carefully coordinated or things will quickly spiral out of control and result in costlyrepeat jobs.
Yes you do!
Having accurate dimensional drawings, pretty visuals and builders onboard means you're equipped and ready but, who's running the show? No matter how well your project is planned, inevitable situations requiring fast paced decisions, realistic resolves and revised design drawings will arise.
As your Design Project Manager I provide full on/off site support, handle ongoing technical questions, communicate updated information across all teams and re-coordinate deliveries in tandem with installation shifts. In a nutshell, I take full control of the day to day operations to ensure the entire project is kept within budgets, specifications and completion timelines.
We look after your entire design and build project. Weekly progress reports and on-site video calls are designed to keep you as informed as needed. We work alongside your requirements and expectations so just tell us what you need and we'll create your bespoke project plan.
