Detailed Design (for Construction + Tender)

This is where the magic happens and we delve into all the finer aspects of your project. We’ll run through each area of your home with you to get crystal clear on the vision for your project. We’ll then put this together in documentation so that your builder can fully understand our aspirations and expectations. This will give you the best chance of a successful project.

How it works…

During this stage, we create a detailed set of instructions for your builder to follow.

We look at all the little details you want, and ensure the design of your home is spot on. Over the years we’ve learnt that the more detail that’s available before the build starts, the more smoothly projects run (and the more cost certainty you have). You’ll avoid those awkward conversations with your builder about what’s been assumed vs what you expected.

This stage also provides you with everything you need to get quotes from multiple builders, and by using our pricing document (not theirs) you’ll know you’re comparing ‘like for like’.

want to have as much cost certainty as reasonably possible for your project
want to benefit from our extensive design experience and knowledge of materials + finishes
prefer to take the time upfront to map out the whole project so that it will minimise queries + questions from your builder
have a full house refurbishment which is a little more complex and would appreciate some expert design advice
you know exactly what you want, but would benefit from our connections with specialist consultants + suppliers

“Facing the overwhelming number of decisions involved in our project, we were grateful for MOMO's meticulous approach. The detailed breakdown of each step made the process not only manageable but also gave us the confidence that our builder priced the project without cutting corners.

Without this level of guidance, we now realise how easily projects can veer off course. MOMO made it clear, concise, and ultimately successful for us.”
