THE WAY WE WORK

consultation

​The usual process is to first see what is the situation of the building from a legal perspective. Is it a freehold? Are we in a conservation area? Is it listed? Are there any restrictions in terms of planning? do we need planning for what you wish to do? Any other constraints such as flooding areas, trees, etc etc...
Then meet to have a look at the space and discuss all your requirements. how you want to use the space, what style you like, how much you want Busilis to be involved in the project (just the plans or also furnishings, do we follow up the build, ... ) and the budget you wish to spend so we design accordingly.
Based on this 1st consult we send you a quote with no obligation.  The quote value depends on the amount of work as we're not always involved in the entire process. It's quite clear what is included in each service so it's à la carte how much you want us to do.

concept
In a first stage we survey the property. Based on the initial meeting, we propose a complete design solution that includes space planing, hand sketches, a mood board and material ideas. We adjust these a couple of times until you're happy with it. ​ 

PLAnNING
Weather we deal with a listed building or with a regular planning application, we will produce the necessary documents and liaise with the council's planing officers to get your project approved. This phase involves producing CAD plans of the existing and proposed situation, filling in administrative forms.

drawing package
Once you are happy with the concept we produce detailed drawings that will allow the builder to realize your vision.
​This typically includes, CAD drawings of the layout, elevations and joinery details, a lighting and small power plan, a scope of work and a schedule of all materials to be used. This is also the stage where we get other professionals on board if need be such as a structural engineer, ventilation and domotics consultants, lighting designer for larger projects.

Building regulations
Once the construction details are ready, we submit them for approval. They are then assessed by building control. The officer may then have to visit the site to make sure it complies with the submitted drawings. They certify that the building is complying with regulations and that it is safe to use. In case of commercial buildings, they also involve the fire department for approval.

sourcing
When the concept is approved, we start the furniture sourcing process, granting you access to our trusted suppliers discounted prices and services. We present you with options for each room and produce a list of all items. As soon as it has been signed off, we start ordering on your behalf. This is optional.

SITE VISITS & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We go on site on a regular basis to make sure everything goes to plan and that the project is realised according to the drawings. We find the best solutions to any unexpected situation together with the builder making sure all the parties on site get accurate information. ​ We send you a report with pictures on regular basis to keep you up to date with the evolution of your build and decisions that have been made on site.
