Can the calendar be fixed in advance?
Past chapters carry the notes. But survey time at the room is non-negotiable, so the estimate leads and the schedule follows the survey.
Choreography
A project in four chapters, and none skipped.
Each chapter ends with an artifact - measured plan, drafted scheme, chosen palette, built room.
Chapters
Four chapters, one notebook.
Rather than claim a magic clock, the studio works chapter by chapter - each one finished before the next begins.
The Survey
The room as found is measured and photographed; drains, radiators and tight corners all enter the record.
The Drawn Scheme
A scheme drawn in plan and elevation, with the second version where the room runs two near-equal ways.
The Choices
Palettes and products picked against daylight and wear, each with a written cost line.
Work on Site
Trades build against the drawings; the studio reviews weekly and stamps departures as they appear.
Chapter Questions
Small questions with big consequences.
Mostly about money and calendars, which is where projects properly start.
Are finish delays avoidable?
Producers of timber, fabric and lighting run their own calendars; the studio sets the order and writes delivery windows honestly.
What happens to unfinished chapters?
The scheme document carries everything; any missing trade is named alongside rather than left to chance.
How are fees structured?
Fees are confirmed in writing at the scheme chapter, per room or per project - whichever suits the size of the job.
Telephone the desk during working hours; drawings and questions travel happily by mail the rest of the day.
