Pre Design & Brief

This phase serves as the foundation for the entire design process, as it provides us with crucial insights and information necessary for creating a tailored design plan. By understanding our clients’ needs and with a site visit, we can develop a design concept that aligns with their vision and maximizes the potential of the space. This preliminary stage sets the course for a successful and cohesive design journey.

Preliminary Design & Concept

The planning stage holds immense significance as we delve into the concept itself and focus on the key elements that are essential for creating a comprehensive and accurate picture of the project. Our aim during this stage is to provide you with a clear understanding of the proposed design, enabling you to make informed decisions. We meticulously work through every aspect of the design, considering factors such as layout, materials, colours, and overall aesthetics. By collaboratively refining the concept, we ensure that it aligns with your vision and meets your specific requirements.

Design Development

During the development stage, the design becomes more tangible and the visual context is expanded. We strive to provide a comprehensive range of services to meet your specific needs. This includes offering a full procurement service where we assist in sourcing and acquiring the necessary materials, furniture and fixtures for your project. We also understand the value of uniqueness, and to that end, we offer custom design elements that are tailored to suit your requirements and preferences.

Detailing & Documentation

At Rubix Design Collective, we place great emphasis on attention to detail and producing concise documentation. As a part of services, we can facilitate the process of obtaining Commercial Building Consent and prepare the associated reports required for regulatory compliance.

Communication and Overseeing

We firmly believe that effective communication is vital throughout the design and construction process. It ensures that the intended design vision is successfully implemented. Regular site meetings play a crucial role in this regard, as they provide an opportunity for key stakeholders to connect and collaborate. These meetings allow for open discussions, problem-solving, and addressing any unforeseen variables that may arise during the project. By maintaining flexibility and adapting to changing circumstances, we can streamline the project and ensure its smooth progression. This commitment to communication and adaptability helps us deliver results that align with our clients’ expectations and goals.
