“CID were extremely professional in their conduct by listening to and understanding our needs, specially the requirement to be focused on a corporate environment whilst also remaining conservative enough to caterer for a broad range of function uses. Their communication was excellent as was their ability to demonstrate examples through their experiences or by providing fabrics to better express their intent. The end design was exactly what we were after and we felt confident throughout this process that we were kept involved enough to contribute effectively to the end product.
CID were then contracted to superintend the installation of the many parts of the project. This was done to a very high level with regular meetings, regular minutes and up to date information about all parts of the project. Their document control and focus on meetings our strict timeline was outstanding. Budget control was managed by CID and if any minor variations were required, I had great confidence that CID had done all in their control to reduce these amounts. I was impressed with their hands on approach to project management and it enabled me to get on with my ‘normal’ job allowing them to manage the work.”

“In 2007, we selected Concepts Interior Design (CID) to design and project manage a 700m² fit-out at, 2 King Street, Deakin.
At every stage, I found the team, Jan Pollock and Dana Tosolini, very easy to deal with. They were responsive to our ever changing requirements (as our brief altered several times mid design due to a company takeover) and they took this in their stride.
CID were also sensitive to our budget constraints, suggesting cheaper alternatives along the way, which still ensured a quality outcome. Our staff are happy and motivated in their new surroundings and this is due in a large part to the attention to detail CID put into the design of our new office. I would have no hesitation in recommending CID to any company embarking on a major design and fit out and would invite you to view our premises to see firsthand, the type of finish they can produce.”

“Concepts provided the architectural services, all colour and decorating selections and oversaw the entire fitout for the office. Everything happened as promised, and the organisation was excellent. This was our tenth office fitout and the first time we have used Concepts. it was the only time the end product surpassed our expectation.”
