From First Call to Final Handover: How Working with 313 Interiors Really Works
Bespoke fitted furniture and interior design involve several decisions, from the first brief through to installation and handover. The exact sequence varies by project, but these stages can help you understand what to ask about.
Step 1: Initial Brief
Begin with a conversation about the space, how it is used, what is not working, and what you want to change. Measurements, photographs, drawings, access, budget, and any structural constraints can all help shape a realistic brief.
Step 2: Design and Visualisation
A design may include plans, elevations, material samples, and 3D visualisations to help you review proportions, storage, lighting, and finishes. Ask how revisions, approvals, specifications, and any design fees are handled before moving to the next stage.
Step 3: Specification and Ordering
Once a design is approved, the specification can be confirmed with the relevant suppliers and trades. Check the agreed materials, appliances, hardware, responsibilities, access requirements, and expected sequence in writing before ordering begins.
Step 4: Installation
Installation arrangements should cover access, protection of existing finishes, deliveries, site preparation, services, waste, and communication. The duration depends on the scope, site conditions, and coordination with other trades, so ask for a project-specific programme.
Step 5: Handover and Aftercare
A handover is an opportunity to review the finished work, note any outstanding adjustments, receive care information, and confirm who to contact with questions. Keep the agreed specification and handover notes for future maintenance.
