Our Process
Through our refined process, we combine your aspirations with our expertise to create a space that tells your story. By evaluating feasibility and applying our refined approach, we guide you through the process, delivering a beautifully crafted and meaningful home.
At BedfordBrooks Design, we believe that great design begins with a deep understanding of our clients' vision and objectives. That's why we've developed a comprehensive process that allows us to transform ideas into reality with precision and creativity.
01. DISCOVERY
In this initial phase, we conduct site studies and get to know your design goals, timelines, and budget. Together, we'll create a detailed brief and identify your design preferences.
02. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Concept Design initiates the creative process. In design workshops, we'll develop layouts, explore finishes and styles, and create renders and early 3D models to visualize the design.
03. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
During the design development stage, we refine the layout, specify key finishes and materials, and finalize lighting concepts and mechanical & electrical requirements. FF&E specifications for each area, including joinery produced for approval.
04. TECHNICAL
Concept Design initiates the creative process. In design workshops, we'll develop layouts, explore finishes and styles, and create renders and early 3D models to visualize the design.
05. PRODUCTION
In this initial phase, we conduct site studies and get to know your design goals, timelines, and budget. Together, we'll create a detailed brief and identify your design preferences.
06. CONSTRUCTION MOBALIZATION
Handover of the construction binder to the GC and kick-off meeting is held to review designs and drawings, align on project scope, timelines, and expectations, ensuring a smooth transition from design to execution. Delivery schedules for finishes are confirmed.
07. CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT
Frequent site visits to oversee progress and milestones to ensure design implementation and FF&E instalations.. Weekly reports are prepared and sent to you. On-site we’ll ensure design implementation and FF&E installations.
08. PROJECT COMPLETION & HANDOVER
At project end, we’ll inspect the site, note any defects, suggest remedies, and help with the practical completion certificate.
Three Phases
-
PHASE 1 - DISCOVERY & FEASIBILITY
In this initial phase, we conduct site studies and get to know your design goals, timelines and budget. Together we will identify your wishlist and create a detailed brief.
Feasibility study begins as we assess if the project is viable or doable, identify varying feasible options, and help develop project plans.
Concept development begins and initiates the creative process. We develop layouts, explore finishes and styles, and creative visuals to present the design concept.
KEY STEPS
1A - Brief
1B - Discovery
1C - Feasibility
1D - Concept Development
1E - Design Development -
PHASE 2 - DESIGN PRODUCTION
During the design production stage, we refine layouts, specify key finishes and materials and finalize mechanical requirements for approval.
Once the design is approved, we proceed to the technical stage, creating a detailed construction package that includes scope of work, as-built and proposed drawings, renderings, plumbing and electrical requirements.
While developing the construction program, we advise on contracts, work with engineer, follow permit progress.
KEY STEPS
2A - Detailed Construction Drawings
2B - Detailed FF&E Specification
2C - Detailed Millwork Drawings
2D - Electrical & Plumbing Requirements
2E - Approvals & Purchasing -
PHASE 3 - CONSTRUCTION TO COMPLETION
Construction kick-off meeting with the GC to review designs, execution and handover the construction binder containing all drawings, detailed sections, schedules & specifications.
On-site, we will ensure design implementation and FF&E installations are executed as planned.
At the project end, we will inspect the site, note deficiencies and implement remedies. We ensure a smooth handover by providing all necessary documentation including warranty information, a final drawing package, and care instructions for your new space. This final step ensures you have everything you need to enjoy and maintain your beautifully completed home.
