ABOUT US

At Concepts, we believe that a small team can make a big impact. We know that each project is unique & comes with its own set of challenges.

 
 

From a partial makeover to a full home or commercial overhaul, our interior designers love a challenge. We are committed to responding to our client's briefs & lifestyles, creating original, authentic & individual interiors that suit your lifestyle or brand & stand the test of time.

We work very closely with you to establish a design direction. Inspiration images, mood boards, sketch plans & elevations are provided until we arrive at a solution that both you & we love.

 
 

Residential & Commercial Design Services

Everything we do follows a strict process, eliminating the guesswork.

We draw from hundreds of suppliers whom we gathered over many years, enabling us to give every project its own individuality. Together we deliver creative, intelligent, practical interiors to suit your budget. We collaborate with builders & artisans who share our commitment to excellence & are passionate about their craft.

Projects, both residential & commercial, vary by need, scope, & branding but we can handle the challenges every step of the way — here’s how we can help.

 
 

  • In consultation, we establish your brief, scope of work, budget, vision & dreams. This guides our journey together.

  • Depending on the project we can prepare, research & present space planning options, initial interior concepts, preliminary colours & finishes, furnishings & or lighting.

  • Once you have approved the initial concepts we develop & present plans & elevations of focus areas which can include kitchens, bathrooms & various joinery or feature items. Generally, this is carried out in sketch form for approval. Preliminary fixtures & fittings and appliances. Lighting design & fittings, furnishing layout & more specific selections.

  • On approval of the design development stage, we move on to detailed documentation. This allows us to refine the detail to a point that enables accurate costings, again negating any guesswork. As we work on Archicad we can also provide realistic 3D renderings to allow you to really visualise your new spaces. We work closely with each client to refine these drawings to include all detail & requirements. At the end of this stage, we provide all drawings, specifications & scheduling needed to tender your project.

  • This is the phase where the design becomes a reality. We liaise with various government departments, meet with engineers & specialised trades on-site to ensure the design is executed to plan & the costs provided are as accurate as possible. We evaluate tenders & pull together fixed price costings for approval. This process is totally transparent. We then meet with all nominated trades to create a day-by-day schedule to ensure that the building process runs smoothly. With 30 years experience, Dana has gathered a team of trades who understand her standards & expectations. She prides herself on client communication & building long lasting relationships with multiple repeat clients & extended trade relationships.

  • After consultation & a site visit to establish clients’ budget, needs & sometimes loved items we create a concept look & feel with key pieces, inspiration images, finishes & fabrics & a furniture plan. Sourcing of all new furniture, artworks & accessories. We treat every project individually & pull from hundreds of suppliers including various second-hand, antique dealers & art galleries. These selections are presented in room boards for refinement/approval. Supply & Project Management fees include;

    • Procurement of all items at trade cost

    • Management & communication of lead times & overall agreed budget

    • Final quotation for all agreed selections, delivery fees, assembly/installation costs & CID 25% fee

    • Management of all deliveries & installation logistics

    • Supervision of assemblies, liaison with necessary tradespeople & placement on site.

Team

For us, it’s as much about the journey as it is the destination. We specialise in both commercial & residential interior design & we’re capable of managing your refurbishment from start to finish.

We have multiple models of engagement: We can work directly with individuals for private residences, partner with builders & contractors on corporate or commercial projects, or simply be involved in the planning process.
