READY TO GET STARTED?
We begin every project with a complimentary discovery call so we can help you navigate the next steps in your design project.
FIRST-FIX PLANNING
First fix shouldn't dictate your finished interior. Your finished interior should inform first fix.
Once the principal room layouts have been established, the next stage is making sure the electrical, lighting and plumbing requirements relate correctly to the way each space will be used.
Our First-Fix Planning service develops the interior information your project team needs to coordinate these decisions before work progresses on site.
Depending on the requirements of your project, this can include:
- Furniture layout plans
- Electrical point locations
- Socket locations
- TV and data requirements
- Switching requirements
- Decorative lighting positions
- Kitchen appliance positions
- Relevant plumbing positions
- Bathroom fixture positions
- Fitted furniture locations
- Coordination of services with proposed cabinetry
- Review of relevant ceiling and architectural features from an interior design perspective
DESIGN COORDINATION
Where appropriate, Muse can meet with your builder or other members of your project team to explain the design intent and review how the proposed interior layouts relate to the work on site.
Our role is interior design and spatial coordination.
Structural design, engineering calculations, building regulations compliance, construction detailing and certification remain the responsibility of the appropriately qualified members of your project team.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Depending on the agreed scope, your First-Fix Planning package may include:
- Furniture layout plan
- Electrical layout
- Lighting layout
- Relevant first-fix notes
- Design coordination meeting
- Updated plans following agreed design decisions
The exact drawings required will be defined within your proposal before work begins.
REVISIONS
One coordinated revision to the first-fix drawings following presentation is included unless otherwise stated within your proposal.
Changes resulting from alterations to the architectural design, client brief or construction after approval are additional work.
Please Note
First-Fix Planning is complete when the agreed drawings have been issued.
Site supervision, construction management, contractor instructions, additional site meetings and changes arising after the approved drawings have been issued are not included.
