One of the values that Zelda Design was founded on was the principal idea that every project should follow a streamlined protocol. After many revisions and trials and errors, we have finally come up with a system that works for us. With that, our systematic approach has shown that familiarity with our meticulous protocols instills a profound sense of ease and confidence within our cherished clients, sustaining them throughout the project's evolution.
Lets dive in:
RESEARCH
STEP 1 Meet & Greet
So, first things first, we kick off with the Meet & Greet. This is where we get to know each other, understand your vision, and see if we're a good fit.
STEP 2 Initial Visit with Alessandra & her team at project site
Next up, we'll schedule your Initial Visit with Alessandra and her team at the project site. This is where we delve deeper into your requirements, take a look at the space, and start brainstorming ideas.
STEP 3 Scope of Work prepared & presented
Once we've gathered all the necessary information, it's time for the Scope of Work. We'll prepare a detailed plan outlining everything discussed during the initial visit, which we'll then present to you for approval.
STEP 4 Signing of contract, receipt of design payment
Now that we're on the same page, it's time to make things official. We'll go through the contract together, make any necessary adjustments, and once everything looks good, we'll proceed with signing. Oh, and don't forget about the design payment - that's an important step too.
STEPS 5&6 Commencement of project & Client Interviews
With all the paperwork sorted, it's time to get down to business. We'll kick off the project and start bringing your vision to life. And last but not least, we'll schedule some Client Interviews along the way. This is our chance to check in, gather feedback, and ensure that everything is progressing smoothly according to your expectations.
DEVELOPMENT
STEP 7 Trade Day
Alright, let's delve into the next steps. After laying the groundwork with initial planning and design, we move forward to what we call Trade Day. This is when we coordinate with various skilled tradespeople to ensure that all aspects of the project are aligned and ready to proceed smoothly. It's a crucial phase where we finalize schedules, confirm materials and resources, and set the stage for the construction and implementation phases.
STEP 8 Execution of construction documents and sourcing
Following Trade Day, we enter into the Execution phase. Here, our team meticulously executes the construction documents that have been prepared, ensuring that every detail is precisely implemented according to the agreed-upon plans. Simultaneously, we commence the sourcing process, where we procure all necessary materials, furnishings, and fixtures to bring the design to life.
STEP 9 Presentation of Design
Once everything is in place, we eagerly anticipate the Presentation of Design. This is the moment where we unveil our vision to you in its entirety, presenting the carefully crafted plan and design elements that will transform your space. It's an exciting milestone where we share our creativity and attention to detail, ensuring that you are fully engaged and satisfied with the direction of the project.
STEP 10 Revisions & final approval
Of course, we understand that perfection often requires refinement. That's why we welcome any Revisions you may have after the design presentation. Whether it's minor tweaks or significant adjustments, we're committed to working closely with you to ensure that the final result exceeds your expectations.
Finally, once all revisions have been addressed and you are completely satisfied, we seek your final approval to proceed. This marks a significant milestone in the project, as we move forward with confidence, knowing that every detail has been carefully considered and tailored to your preferences.
PROCUREMENT
STEP 11 Placement of orders and delivery lead -time assessment
Now, let's proceed with the next stages of our journey. Here we move into the phase of Placement of orders and delivery lead-time assessment. This entails placing orders for all the materials, furnishings, and fixtures required for your project while carefully evaluating the lead times for delivery. It's a crucial step in ensuring that everything arrives on schedule and that the project progresses smoothly without any delays.
STEP 12 Initiation of construction and renovation
With orders in place, we transition into the Initiation of construction and renovation. This is where the action truly begins, as our skilled team of professionals commences the construction and renovation work according to the approved plans. Whether it's structural modifications, installations, or finishing touches, this phase is where your vision starts to take shape.
STEP 13 Procurement period continues
Simultaneously, this period sees the continuation of the Procurement period. As construction progresses, we continue to procure any additional items needed to complete the project, ensuring that everything is on hand when required. This ongoing process ensures that the project stays on track and that all necessary materials and resources are readily available as the work unfolds.
INSTALLATION
STEP 14 Furniture installation and client reveal
As we near the completion of your project, we transition into furniture installation and client reveal. Here, we carefully place and arrange all the furniture pieces and installations that were meticulously selected during the design phase. It's an exciting moment as we unveil the transformed space to you, revealing the culmination of our collaborative efforts and attention to detail.
STEP 15 Accessory completion
Following the furniture installation, we move on to accessory completion. This involves adding the final touches to the space, including decorative accessories, artwork, and any other finishing elements that enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of the design. These subtle details contribute to creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere that reflects your unique style and personality.
STEP 16 Deficiency resolution and project close-out
As we approach the final stages of the project, we enter the final step in the project process: Deficiency resolution and project close-out. Here, we conduct a thorough inspection of the completed work, addressing any deficiencies or issues that may arise. Our goal is to ensure that every aspect of the project meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Once all outstanding matters have been resolved, we officially close out the project, providing you with the assurance that your vision has been brought to life with precision and care.
