STEP 1 -
CONSULTATION
Consultation is essential for us to understand your project. Our priority is to ensure that we can meet your project timeline, goals, vision, and budget. We recognize that tenant improvements can be overwhelming, and are here to address any apprehensions you may have about the process.
This consultation is designed to foster open communication, and we may follow it up with a virtual call to further acquaint ourselves with your requirements before presenting any proposals. Our ultimate goal is to establish a foundation based on collaboration, making the entire journey smooth and reassuring for you, our client.
STEP 02 —INTERIOR DESIGN
PROGRAMMING
In this beginning phase, we research the project type, the local area, zoning regulations, and codes to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the project context. A thorough site visit is conducted to verify measurements and conditions. Additionally, we carefully review Tenant Improvement guidelines and gather all essential files and base plans, assembling a complete picture of the project ahead. This groundwork is essential for creating a successful and well-informed design approach.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
Here, the technical side of the project takes precedence. We create detailed construction drawings which are then issued for different purposes, such as building permits, tender, and construction. To expedite the process, we may stagger these drawing sets, prioritizing the submission of permit applications.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
After establishing the project direction and gathering necessary information, we move forward with translating the design into reality. This involves space planning, creative problem-solving, and exploring various materials, furniture, fixtures, and lighting options. At this time, we also review drawings from other consultants for coordination, if required.
FF & E
If required, we finalize the selection of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E). These items encompass anything that is not permanently fixed or attached to the structure of the space. This includes small décor items, that add the finishing touches and elevate the overall aesthetics of the design.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
During this phase, we begin the documentation process. Once we have received client feedback and approval for the Schematic Design, we refine the design through 3D renderings, sketches, and specifications. We also explore the feasibility and functionality of different design ideas, providing a clear understanding of the resources required for successful implementation. This process ensures that our designs are aligned with the vision and budgetary considerations of the client.
PERMIT APPLICATION
If necessary, our team will take charge of coordinating all consultants, gathering and organizing schedules, and preparing all required forms for the building permit application. We handle all communication, address any inquiries, and promptly address any minor revisions requested by the City. Our streamlined process ensures a smooth and efficient building permit application, minimizing delays or setbacks.
STEP 03 —CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
CONSTRUCTION TENDER
Our project management team initiates a competitive bidding process using the issued for tender drawings. Using our network of trusted and reliable trades, we carefully select those that best align with your project's scope, timeline, and budget. Once the final construction estimate is approved and contracts are signed, we swiftly proceed with setting up for the construction start.
PURCHASE ORDER
We create and dispatch purchase orders to all trades that have been awarded a contract. These POs serve as the essential agreements between the trades and the General Contractor and are crucial for ensuring a seamless and well-coordinated project execution.
SCHEDULING
Detailed schedules are created for trades, landlords, and clients, providing a clear roadmap for the construction process. These schedules are continuously updated and regularly communicated to all parties. Weekly progress reports are submitted through each client's preferred means of communication. This consistent flow of information keeps everyone informed and involved throughout the construction journey.
INSURANCE & WCB
We collect all the necessary insurance documents from our trades and compile a comprehensive package for both the landlord and the client. This package includes our own insurance, the WorkSafe BC certificate, a detailed list of contacts for the trades, and other essential documents to streamline communication and maintain structure and efficiency.
TRADE COORDINATION
Our project managers efficiently coordinate all trades during the construction phase, ensuring they adhere to the schedule. They serve as the primary point of contact for the client, streamlining communication.
PROJECT HANDOVER
Following the final construction clean, inspections, and occupancy process, the project reaches its culmination with the final handover. As part of this handover, we capture professional photos of your space, which you can utilize for marketing purposes. Additionally, we provide all necessary closing documents, including issued for record drawings and warranty information, to ensure a smooth and well-documented conclusion to the project.
SITE SUPERVISION
Our project manager or site superintendent will make regular site visits to ensure the project stays on track and progresses smoothly. Additionally, they will be present for all inspections during the construction phase, providing essential support and expertise to ensure the project complies with quality and safety standards.
DEFICIENCIES
Upon project completion, we conduct a thorough site walk-through to identify and address any deficiencies promptly. Rest assured that we prioritize resolving these issues in a timely manner to ensure the project is delivered to the highest standards of quality and satisfaction.
