THE ASTUTE DESIGN & FITOUT PROCESS

Contact us to schedule an initial consultation. We’ll discuss your needs and schedule a site visit.

Our team will meet with you on site to assess the space and understand your vision and requirements.


3  Design & Fitout Fee Estimate

Our fee proposal secures your commitment and allows us to refine costings while collaborating closely with our trusted contractors and suppliers.

This ensures transparency, accuracy, and a well-planned approach to delivering your project efficiently and within budget. It’s a critical step for mitigating risks and achieving a well-executed project.
