Seamless Coordination with Interior Design Team
Construction Documentation
Construction documentation involves creating comprehensive documentation necessary for construction. It may include detailed architectural drawings, structural drawings, mechanical and electrical plans, specifications, schedules, and any necessary permit or regulatory documentation. Good documentation is essential for communicating ideas, coordinating with project team members, and ensuring that the final built product meets the client's requirements and expectations.
Systems Coordination
Systems coordination involves the integration of various building systems to ensure that they function efficiently and effectively together. Effective systems integration is essential for creating a safe, comfortable, and efficient built environment. We plan for and coordinate spaces for structure, equipment, ductwork, piping, electrical, and IT distribution throughout your home.
Construction Administration
Throughout the construction process, Deidre Interiors provides support services, including reviewing shop drawings, responding to requests for information (RFIs), conducting site visits, and addressing any issues that arise during construction.
Pre-Design Due Diligence
All projects come with challenges and constraints. Pre-design due diligence involves a comprehensive assessment and analysis of various factors before the initiation of the design process for a building project. This critical phase ensures that the project is feasible, compliant, and aligned with your needs and goals.
Site Planning and Review
Site planning is the process of organizing and arranging the physical components of a site to accommodate a proposed project while considering various factors such as functionality, aesthetics, environmental impact, and regulatory requirements. Effective site planning requires careful analysis, thoughtful design, and interdisciplinary collaboration to create a site layout that is functional, attractive, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of users and the natural environment.
Master Planning
Master planning is a comprehensive and strategic process for the long-term development and management of potential projects. It involves analyzing existing conditions, defining a vision for the future, and creating a framework for guiding change over time. Master planning provides a holistic roadmap for decision-making, investment, and project priorities.
Material Integration
Material integration involves considering the properties, characteristics, and performance of different materials and integrating them seamlessly into the design process to achieve specific design objectives. Our expertise allows us to identify or incorporate appropriate materials for the right purposes, adaptively reuse existing elements, and create cohesive and harmonious built environments.
