Phase One

Model Approval

The full space is built as a 3D model you can walk through and react to. Colours, finishes and proportions are refined with you until every corner earns your approval.

You approve

  • Full 3D Model
  • Design Revisions
  • Final Sign-Off
Phase Two

Render

The approved model becomes a photorealistic render — true lighting, real materials and the exact mood of your finished space, before a single tile is laid.

Included

  • Photoreal Renders
  • True Materials & Lighting
  • Presentation Views
Phase Three

Dimension Design

Every custom feature is drawn to the inch. Detailed dimension sheets fix sizes, spacing, joinery and materials on paper — so what gets built is exactly what was designed.

On the sheet

  • Detail Drawings
  • Exact Dimensions
  • Material & Joinery Specs
