Burnetts works exclusively with interior designers and/or architects. The first and most important step in creating your dream space is the design. Consulting with your design specialist will help you plan your restaurant, commercial or retail space taking all your requirements into consideration. Taste, practicality and budget are paramount.
An interior designer will guide you in the right direction. They will determine the purpose and practicality of your project. A design will be proposed by them and formal plans will follow on your acceptance. They will not only bring flare, they will bring organization and the project will be delivered to a timeline. All local bylaws will be followed, and all permissions and council submissions will be applied for on your behalf.
Consider your limitations.
What about building regulations and planning limitations? Are you in a historical building that does not allow major renovations? Can you legally make changes in the building? Will your landlord allow change? Do you need an engineering sign off? Keeping limitations in mind helps you progress without problems that waste time and money. Interior designers and architects are trained to pick up on these potential issues. Use their education to your benefit.
Plan within your budget.
On the topic of finance, are your plans in line with your budget? Without an accurate budget in place, you will very quickly run into challenges. Your designer will tell you exactly how much you will need to lay out and tie contractors into their quotations. They will most times manage your site and budget and keep things on track. Your design professional needs to be paid and so will normally charge a fair rate, this is usually a negotiated percentage of the total project. I have often been told by clients that paying the interior designer and architect was the best money they have spent.
