Commercial interior design in Manchester.

Yes, and we will be straight with you about how. We are based in Yorkshire and we work across the UK, so we are not going to tell you we are round the corner. What we bring instead is that one firm designs it, contracts every trade and answers for the result, which on a project away from your own desk is worth more than a postcode.

A Category A fit out is the landlordu2019s. It gives you raised floors, a suspended ceiling, basic lighting, heating and cooling, fire detection and little else: a finished shell you cannot yet work in. Category B is yours. It is the partitions, meeting rooms, kitchen, joinery, branding, flooring, furniture, and the power and data where your people actually sit. Most enquiries we take are Category B, and if you are taking a new lease it is worth knowing exactly which one your landlord has agreed to before you budget for the other.

Nobody can answer that honestly from a web page, because it turns on your building and how much of it you are changing. Rather than publish a bracket that would be wrong for you, we built one that works on yours. Our estimator asks a few questions about your space and returns a working range in about two minutes, and it shows you the number before it asks you for anything. Finished photographs tend to make every project look like a whole floor and a budget to match. A single meeting room or one tired reception is normal work for us, so get the range before you rule yourself out.

We do, and that is the point. We are the principal contractor rather than a designer who introduces you to one. We procure the trades, hold the programme, run the site and carry the responsibility for what those contractors do. You get one point of contact and one invoice. If you are used to appointing a designer, then a contractor, then a furniture supplier separately, this replaces all three appointments with one.

Usually, and it is worth deciding at the survey rather than halfway through. Working in phases around your people takes longer; clearing the floor means finding them somewhere to go. Which of those suits you changes both the programme and the price, so tell us early which matters more and we will build the plan around that rather than around a template.
