Creating professional & effective work spaces

Our Fit Out Process

Profile Interiors - Your Space, Our Solution.

Our Process

  • 1. Consultation

  • Our initial consultation meeting with you allows us to understand your vision, project goals and specific business needs. From there, we can start to build a personalised solution to match your initial concept and requirements.

    For instance, let’s say you are looking to completely transform your workplace. You can set up a consultation meeting with our Interior Fit Out specialists to share ideas and discuss available options while incorporating your all-important brand image into the design concept.

    Enquire now to discuss your project.

  • 2. Project Scope

  • After the initial consultation, it’s time to perform a full analysis of the project scope, requirements, feasibility and any approvals needed for the project. From this, the concept design is refined, and the time frame and quote are proposed. Client feedback is an essential part of this process.

    In a Commercial Fit Out, this Project Scope step could include an analysis of the following to create an effective commercial workspace:

    • The floor plan, walls and window layout
    • Materials and finishes
    • Lighting, heating and cooling 
    • Set up of ICT and other technical equipment 
    • Furniture and fixtures

    Enquire now to discuss your project.

  • 3. Planning & Design

  • The planning and design stage is the continuation of a two-way consultation and feedback process to ensure that specific client needs and requirements are being met and that the plan is revised accordingly. From the agreed plan, we can then add detail to the intended scope of work. 

    With an Office Renovation, for example, the goal could be to update the function and flow of the workspace. This could involve streamlining and organising the current workspace to improve the working environment and increase staff productivity.

    Enquire now to discuss your project.

  • 4. Project Delivery
    & Management

  • Once the plan has been finalised with the client, we take the practical steps to prepare the site so that project delivery can get under way as scheduled. 

    Throughout the execution of the whole project, our Project Management Services team will ensure quality, support and communication regularly, so you are kept informed of the progress being made or if further consultation is needed. 

    Enquire now to discuss your project.

  • 5. Post-Project Care

  • Upon completion of the project, the client will continue to receive ongoing expert support and troubleshooting advice from Profile Interiors.

    In the case of an Office Refurbishment, our hyper care team can help ensure a comfortable, attractive and sustainable work environment is maintained. This will ensure your newly transformed space will continue to enhance workplace culture, and provide a fantastic first impression for your business clients.
