Treat design like money – invest early to get the rewards later on!!

How?

Get principals so everyone in the team project is aligned and has key standards to align to

Why?

When you have a team on 5, each working on different areas i.e. ceilings, elevations, joinery, etc it’s easy for everyone to go off on a tangent

When?

Design smart when working in a team so everyone is aligned from day 1 to save having to adjust details , drawings and visuals later in the project

How?

Concept stage – set out standard principals, key heights, materials and thicknesses early on. Outline the approach, standard details so everyone is reading from the same script to make the many different elements align and work in proportion, balance, style and overall feel of the project

Reward?

All elements of the design slot together as everyone abided by the same key principals.
This saves last minute changes, means the project has continuity, same principals in its approach and works visually and aligns to the original design approach. No time is wasted having to adjust visuals, elevations etc so you can focus 100% on the final presentation!!
