Design & Development
From initial ideas to manufacture-ready design.
Our core Design & Development service provides the creative and technical expertise needed to develop bespoke joinery projects from initial ideas through to detailed design.
We can work from an initial brief to create a complete design solution, or take an existing concept and develop it through the detail required to progress towards manufacture.
Each project is developed through clear 3D design visuals, coordinated CAD drawings, specification and detailed technical information, creating a comprehensive design package for both presentation and manufacture.
A FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO DESIGN
Start with a brief, an existing concept, or somewhere in between.
Every project comes to us at a different stage.
Some clients require a complete design solution developed from an initial brief. Others already have an architectural concept, reference imagery or an established design direction that requires further development and technical resolution.
We work with the information already available, establishing what is needed to take the project forward without duplicating work unnecessarily.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS
Starting with your brief, we develop the layout, proportions, functionality, materials and detailing into a considered joinery solution tailored to the project.
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Where a design direction already exists, we develop and refine the concept, resolving the details and technical considerations required to progress it towards manufacture.
DRAWING EXAMPLES
WHATS INCLUDED IN OUR CORE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE?
A complete visual and technical design package.
Our core Design & Development packages combine visual design development with the detailed technical information required to clearly communicate the project and progress it towards manufacture.
3D DESIGN VISUALS
Clear 3D views are developed alongside the drawings to communicate the overall design, proportions, layout and key details, helping the design to be understood and reviewed as it develops.
ADDITIONAL PROJECT SUPPORT
Additional production information can be developed where required, including:
MANUFACTURING DETALIING
Cut lists
Cutting diagrams
Workshop assembly drawings
CGI VISUALISATION
Photorealistic CGI renders provide an enhanced representation of the design, materials and finishes for client presentation and design approval.
PRODUCTION-READY SKETCHUP FILE
A fully organised SketchUp model prepared for production, with components structured, named and tagged for efficient cut list generation and further workshop use.
CNC COMPONENT SUPPLY
For suitable projects, CNC-machined components can be supplied directly from the approved design, providing a streamlined route from technical drawings to production.
MEETINGS & SITE SURVEYS
Additional design meetings and measured site surveys can be arranged where required, providing further support throughout the development of the project.
