Designer/Architect/Builder Collaborations
Here at CullenBuilding Group, we regularly collaborate with designers and architects to
ensure a high quality, well-designed end product. For this blog post, we asked
one of our collaborators, Cranberry Design, to explain the benefits of working
together.
Custom builds and renovations are a big part of our
business. We do a lot of work designing interiors for renovations with a team
of architects and designers to get it right before the build begins.
It’s the on-site collaboration we have with our builders and
tradesmen, throughout the entire project, that ensures an amazing end result.
Working with Cullen Building Group has taught us that collaborating before the
build even begins is a huge advantage to the client.
There are a few key phases in a building project where
collaboration is really important. Obviously, the first one is the designing.
We feel it is really important to have the whole team on board early in this
phase, as this ensures optimum constructability, correct budgets and that client
needs will be met.
We have always worked very closely with our builders and
contractors right from the start of the process. This is no different with
Cullen – in fact, we work together before the contracts have even been signed. During
the tender process, the Cullen team works hard to provide an accurate and
thorough quote, to ensure there are no surprises along the way. One of the
biggest challenges for clients looking for fixed price quoting is the PC items.
These are the finishes and selections that are generally made further down the line
and are very hard to estimate unless the client knows exactly what they are
going to choose.
That’s where we come in. To negate or lessen this
uncertainty, Cullen engages us to complete a complimentary consultation with
the client. This helps to narrow down what is wanted, with decisions like 2 pac
or laminate, marble or engineered stone, flooring, tapware selections and
tiles. The costs vary hugely and depending on the selection, the actual tiling
price also changes dramatically. We meet clients at Beaumont Tiles for a
two-hour meeting, where we help them select everything from flooring, carpet,
tiles, benchtops and joinery finishes so that Cullen can quote effectively.
It’s a fantastic service and so far, has proved to be of
great benefit. It demonstrates how small changes to finishes can affect budgets
and allows time to change choices if the cost comes in at too high or too low.
From that point on, we are also available to clients on an
hourly rate, assisting with other decorative selections like window
furnishings, lighting and outdoor spaces – all of which need to be made early
on in the project and in collaboration with the builder so that changes don’t
need to be made to the construction in the middle of the project.
That’s not where our collaboration ends though. Cranberry
Design is also available during the build process to answer any questions the
client and builder may have. The builder is the one who literally makes ideas,
visions and drawings come to life and the reality is details come up during the
build process.

Until quite recently, mobile web design was considered far more relevant to modern consumers than it's responsive counterpart, this approach sees designers using smart phones as a starting point and upgrading the technology progressively, through to notepads, desktop computers and beyond. This method meant that companies needed two websites, one for their mobile pages and one for PC users. if you want to get Web Design Agency Syria then please visit our website.
