How the work runs

Specified.Sequenced.Stood behind.

Most interior firms sell a look and disappear at handover. We sell a building decision that holds up in twenty years, which means the answers arrive in millimetres and dates.

Stage 01

Specified

Every material named, sized and sourced before work begins. No “or equivalent”.

Stage 02

Sequenced

One programme, one site lead, trades booked in order. The client is never the coordinator.

Stage 03

Stood behind

A twelve-month defects window and an annual upkeep visit, priced upfront.

01 — Specified
Every material named, sized and sourced before work begins. No “or equivalent”.

Specified

The specification is issued as a schedule with quantities, thicknesses and suppliers. If a line changes on site, it changes on the schedule first, in writing, with the cost.

ScheduleOne document, every line with a size, a finish and a supplier.
SubstitutionsOnly in writing, with the cost difference shown.
RevisionsTwo included at design stage, a third at cost.
QuantitiesMeasured, not estimated. Wastage stated separately.
Setting-out drawing with material samples
Every line on the sheet carries a size, a finish and a supplier.
02 — Sequenced
One programme, one site lead, trades booked in order. The client is never the coordinator.

Sequenced

A single site lead holds the programme. Trades arrive on booked dates. You receive a weekly note with what was done, what is next and anything that moved.

ProgrammeFourteen weeks for a typical three-bedroom fit-out.
Site leadOne named person for the whole build.
ReportingA weekly note: done, next, and anything that moved.
TradesBooked in order. You never chase a plumber.

03 — Stood behind
A twelve-month defects window and an annual upkeep visit, priced upfront.

Stood behind

Twelve months on the build from the handover date. One upkeep visit a year after that, priced in the original contract, so the price is known before you sign.

A measured survey and a first specification follow the first meeting. Nothing is ordered until you have read every line.
