Intro To Woods

Of course now that we are designing mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems we will need to tell the designers what we are using for plumbing and lighting fixtures (the AC guys are already off and running!). This will tell them what the power loads will be like, where we need current and data, where the drains will be and all the critical information that will make sure there are no changes when the fixtures and fitting show up.

We cannot stress enough how important this phase of the design is – if there is an area in the buildout where a lot of unnecessary time and money is spent it is here! Communication between the designer, the interior designer and the building team must be crystal clear, checked and double checked again.

Seems like the right time to introduce the Interior design team right?

   Once the room layouts have been established it is time to bring in our experienced interiors team from Woods Furniture and design, who will help the client and the development team to start thinking in greater detail about ceilings, trims, accents and the all the myriad of materials that will be used throughout the home. It is your interior designer’s job to stay on top of all the trends, all the changes in lighting and plumbing technology, furnishings, flooring, wall treatments, window treatment options etc, and share all this with the team. We are delighted to have Sherrill Bushfield from Woods with whom to collaborate; she is one of the very best that we have ever worked with!

As mentioned before, it is important to have a clear understanding of the client’s finish expectations before finalizing the major details of the home as these will have a significant impact on the comprehensive budget for the home.

Decisions will have to be taken on finishes, furnishings, window coverings, kitchens and bathroom fittings – all critical to a comprehensive and elegant presentation.

Woods provides consultation on all particulars in the home and will work closely with the architect to maintain thematic elements from door to door. I you really want a polished product this is a wise investment.
