Interior Design - The Process
Space Planning
Space planning is a fundamental element of the interior design process. It starts with an in-depth analysis of how the space is to be used. The designer then draws up a plan that defines the zones of the space and the activities that will take place in those zones. The space plan will also define the circulation patterns that show how people will move through the space. The plan is finished by adding details of all the furniture, equipment and hardware placement.
Visualising the Design
We then move onto defining budgets, conceptualising the design direction, discussing the fixtures, fitting and loose furniture, based on those suggestions we start modelling to produce 3D visuals. At Ele Interior we pride ourselves in delivering high quality, detailed visuals to really allow our Clients to understand what their space will be, this is a skilled talent and our team is hugely experienced in producing these.
Technical Drawings
Once the Client is fully happy with the Design the team move onto Technical drawings, these are detailed technical drawings showing Electrical positioning, flooring layouts, decorative design and much more. They stipulate the colours and materials the Designer has suggested and this full set of drawings can be used to tender works to the relevant Contractors.
Design Supervision
Supervision Services can be included in our proposal to ensure the Contractors deliver the design as per our intention, this service is optional and we are flexible in how this is structured especially if our Projects are not located in the UAE. We offer bespoke plans depending on your project, time constraints and your budget.
Procurement Process
Design, Development & Planning
In the procurement management and supply chain process, the planning begins with understanding your precise needs and goals according to your project. Our team considers design intent, styling and manufacturer standards. The structure of the procurement process is therefore based on both qualitative and quantitative review. This includes a comprehensive budget framework designed to minimise total cost.
Procurement
Once a purchasing policy and delivery timetable are agreed upon, we utilise our trusted global network of suppliers to identify suitable supply sources. We then begin to negotiate the best possible conditions on your behalf.
We work with you to establish purchasing priorities, following which our specialist team conducts a number of checks to ensure quality assurance.
Logistics
We co-ordinate with the logistics experts to assist with the smooth and timely delivery of all goods from the factory to your project site.
Installation & Handover
Our FF&E procurement process is only successfully completed when your goods are on site, installed and in full working order. Our comprehensive handover service ensures installation is completed to your satisfaction.
The final handover phase sees our Design team place all the items into your project in the correct manner and as per design.
