The Main Phases Involved in Interior Design Process

From inception to completion, there are several phases involved in the interior design process. Professional interior designers in Dubai use their expertise and experience to systematically follow all the key phases to complete the project on time and within the client’s budget.

• Planning Phase

During this phase, the client brief is gathered – personal requirements, budget, and time frame for the project. After understanding the client’s brief, the spatial requirements of different office facilities, including a workstation, reception, pantry, conference room, and other spaces are analyzed. Professional interior design companies in Dubai consider various factors like the number of employees, the overall purpose of the space, and also the requirements of furnishing, fixtures, lighting, and HVAC for each area.

While needing to design a workplace that meets clients’ expectations and functional aspects of the space, the interior design team conducts vigorous research, surveys, and frequent site visits.

• Concept Development Phase

This is where the ideas are laid out in the form of sketches. The concept in mind is illustrated with the help of basic site plans, simple elevations, rough sections, and floor plans. The sketches also include dimensions to get an approximate cost estimation of the project. In this phase, the design should meet the client’s vision as well as the space requirements of the workplace. After frequent meetings with clients and revisions, a design will then be finalized.

• Design Development Phase

The schematic design that is finalized in the previous stage is further developed in this stage. The floor plans, sections, and elevations are developed with accurate dimensions. More importantly, additional details including the location of windows and doors, colors, material, finishes selection, furniture, etc are also included in the design. The final design (usually in 3D views) is then presented to the client and his approval is taken.

• Construction Documentation Phase

The approved design is further detailed and translated into the technical language of the contractor. It is a prerequisite document set that consists of all the design details with appropriate specifications that are vital in executing any interior design project. While preparing construction documentation, the coordination of different disciplines including, mechanical, electrical, structural, architectural, lighting, etc are constantly checked for collision. The construction documents inclusive of all drawings and specifications are approved by the client and the construction cost is estimated. Once the construction documentation is finalized, different fit out companies in Dubai are invited to bid, the contractor is chosen, a purchase order is issued and the project is started.

• Execution Phase

Based on construction documents, the construction of the workplace starts. The interior designer needs to ensure that the execution taking place on the site complies with the design intent in the construction document set. Under the closed supervision of the interior design team, the project is completed.
