Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Include adequate bespoke measurement stages in the renovation plan.
Decide this before construction
Approve material combinations and the sample detail before production. Complete work affecting dimensions before ordering final bespoke components.
Which trade-off matters?

Compare the complete intervention
Identify samples, measurement and coordination separately in the budget. Craftsmanship involves preparation and accurately fitted transitions as well as the material itself.
Cost factors for this service

Bring this to the discussion
Plans, building use, opening hours, landlord agreements and continuity requirements.
