Technical Design

We turn creative vision into a buildable, compliant and beautifully coordinated reality.

Where the big idea gets real. Technical design is the vital bridge between a creative concept and a tangible, high-quality workplace. Our technical team takes the approved interior design and turns it into a comprehensive set of instructions that leaves nothing to chance. We dive into the details, making sure every component of your design is fully coordinated, compliant and ready for construction.

‍

It’s a process of meticulous planning and problem-solving. We figure out exactly how things will be built, specifying every last junction, fixing and finish. Rigour is what ensures your project is delivered on time, on budget and to the highest possible standard.

Due Diligence

Before construction starts, we carry out thorough checks on the building. We survey the site, review landlord specifications and flag any potential issues with the existing services or structure through validation surveys. We identify and solve problems on paper, before they have a chance to cause delays and add costs on-site.

This proactive work is all about mitigating risk. It gives you peace of mind that the design is buildable and protects your budget from expensive surprises during the construction phase. We get ahead of the problems.

Due Diligence

Specification

We document every product, material and finish in a detailed specification schedule - from carpet tiles and ceiling panels right down to door handles and light fittings. Samples are provided throughout so you can see and feel the quality before it goes in. What you sign off on is exactly what gets built.

This document is your guarantee of quality. It ensures complete clarity for the construction team and makes certain that all materials meet your aesthetic, performance and sustainability requirements. With no grey areas.

Specification

Technical Analysis

We scrutinise the design against statutory regulations, accessibility standards and fire safety regulations. Our team analyses all design and project risks. Everything from acoustics and lighting levels to ventilation and power distribution, making sure the proposed design is not just beautiful but also safe, functional and fully compliant.

Expert analysis ensures your finished workplace is a safe and healthy environment for your team. It’s a critical step that guarantees all legal and statutory obligations are met, giving you complete confidence in the project.

Technical Analysis

Detailing & Coordination

This is where we produce the master drawing package. We create detailed plans, sections and elevations for every part of the design, showing precisely how all the elements fit together. We coordinate with specialist contractors, like mechanical and electrical engineers, to integrate their systems seamlessly into the design.

Meticulous coordination is the secret to a smooth build. It removes Β tension between different trades before they get to site. And speeds up construction to ensure a flawless, high-quality finish.

Detailing & Coordination

Design Management

Throughout the construction phase, we’re on hand to protect the integrity of the design. We answer questions from the site, review sub-contractor proposals and carry out regular quality inspections throughout the build. We act as the guardian of the creative vision, ensuring the finished build is true to what was promised.

Our ongoing involvement provides a vital link between the design studio and the construction site. It means that when challenges arise, we can solve them quickly without compromising the quality or the concept.

We love the detail. It’s where quality is won or lost.

Some people might see technical drawings as dry, but we see them as the recipe for a brilliant workplace. We’re passionate about our craft because we know that this detailed work is what makes a design deliver in the real world. Our persistence at this stage pays dividends later.

Focus on the small stuff delivers big results. A seamless construction process and a final finish that feels solid, considered and beautifully put together. A space you can be proud of.

FAQ's

Why is workplace technical design so important?

Technical design turns a creative idea into a clear set of instructions. Without it, you risk construction delays, budget overruns and a final result that doesn’t match the vision. It gives you cost certainty and quality control.

What is a drawing package?

It’s the full set of detailed drawings and specifications needed for construction. It includes everything from general layouts and lighting plans to detailed joinery drawings, so the build team knows exactly what to do.

Who coordinates with the engineers and other consultants?

We do. Our technical designers act as the central point of contact, coordinating the work of all specialists - like M&E, IT and structural engineers - to ensure everything comes together perfectly in one integrated design.

Do you ensure the design meets statutory regulations?

Yes, absolutely. A huge part of our role is to ensure the workplace design is fully compliant with all relevant statutory regulations, fire safety standards and accessibility requirements. We take full responsibility for this.
