The Stages of Office Interior Design - How We Work With You

Designing a workplace isn’t just about choosing stylish furniture or picking the right shade of paint. It’s about creating a space that truly supports your team, reflects your brand, and feels effortless to work in.

If you’ve never worked with an interior designer before, the process can seem like a mystery. That’s why we’ve built a clear, step-by-step approach that takes you from blank canvas to move-in ready office with no confusion, no stress, and no unwanted surprises.

Here’s how we make it happen.

1. Concept & Budget: Ideas Meet Reality

Every great workplace starts with a conversation. We explore how your team works, what your space needs to achieve, and the atmosphere you want to create. From there, we develop layouts, mood boards, and a high-level plan to bring the vision to life.At this stage, we’ll also set an indicative budget — realistic, transparent, and tailored to you. Working alongside our trusted builders and joiners means you’ll know what’s possible before investing too much time or energy.

2. Detailed Design & Fixed Costing: Turning Vision Into Blueprint

Once the direction feels right, it’s time to zoom in on the details: finishes, joinery, lighting, and precise drawings.Here’s where we give you a fixed cost, so there are no surprises later. With electricians and other specialists involved early, we ensure the design isn’t just beautiful, it’s practical and buildable.

3. Council & Compliance: Navigating the Red Tape

If council consent is needed, we handle the paperwork and coordinate with the right specialists:

• Fire engineers – reports and compliance strategies

• Structural engineers – advice for walls and building alterations

• Mechanical engineers – air-conditioning and ventilation

  
  

  We take care of all compliance to meet the NZ Building Code so you can focus on your business, not the red tape.

  
  

4. Furniture & Finishes: Style Meets Function

Furniture makes the space. We source, quote, and recommend the right pieces to fit your style, budget, and timeframe. Thanks to our trade-only supplier network, you’ll have access to designs and value you won’t find in retail.Once you’re happy, we take care of ordering, tracking, and delivery. No endless emails, no missed deadlines, just a seamless process.

5. Onsite Installation: Bringing It All Together

This is where everything clicks into place. Our trusted team of builders, joiners, electricians, and trades handle the fit-out under our careful coordination.We manage deliveries, oversee furniture installation, and add those finishing touches that make your office feel complete. By the time we hand over the keys, your space is fully styled and move-in ready.

Why This Process Works

• Clarity first: You see options before committing

• Budgets managed: Costs are locked in at the right stage

• No compliance headaches: All council requirements are handled for you

• Trusted experts, timed right: Specialists are involved only when needed

• Seamless delivery: From fit-out to furniture, everything arrives at once

  
  

  The result? A smooth, stress-free journey and a workplace that feels as good as it looks from day one.
