Your 5 step guide to a successful project with Clarke Rendall
STEP 1 - Writing your brief
This stage is crucial to the success of all that follows so make sure you are asking all the right questions, such as:
-
WHAT IS IT/WHAT MUST IT DO?
- How many users need to be accommodated? Will it need specific
equipment such as PC's, TFT screens, security equipment? Will it need
to be DDA compliant? Does it need storage? Are there any architectural
features to accommodate such as walls or columns? Etc.
-
WHAT SHOULD IT LOOK LIKE? - Preferred styling, straight or curved. Perhaps based on one of our previous projects or possibly a standard product?
-
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT FINISHED?
- Veneer, plain-colour or wood-effect laminate, glass, steel, stone,
acrylic. With lighting, plinth detail, inlay bands, a logo, a lightbox?
Etc.
-
WHAT BUDGET IS AVAILABLE? - Is this to be a bespoke project or can we meet your needs with a standard
evolution® product? Maybe the solution is customising a standard product to produce an
evolution® special?

Clarke Rendall to move on to the next step in the process.
STEP 2 - Presenting you with an initial design
Based on all you've told us, our design team will now produce:
-
An initial design proposal in the form of a
plan drawing and
3D images plus
examples of other relevant projects
-
Swatches of potential veneers/laminates or any specialist finishes
-
Indicative budget costings based on initial design
-
Manufacturing lead time based on current production schedule
Although what's listed above will result in a comprehensive
presentation, we may keep the design itself quite loose in order that
feedback from you and your client can be easily integrated.

STEP 3 - Responding to your feedback and finalizing the design
Once you have discussed the initial design with your client, we can
address any requested changes or tweaks required and then produce a
full detailed design proposal
including 3D renders of the furniture in situ for you to formally
present to your client for final sign off and ordering purposes. To
support this design, we will also produce an accurate detailed
quotation and confirm the manufacturing lead time to produce your
furniture.

STEP 4 - Placing the order and scheduling manufacture
The design and costs are agreed, now it's time to place an order. Upon receipt of your order,
construction drawings
are generated and sent to you for your client's approval. Once
approved, these drawings are issued to our expert cabinet makers, and
your furniture is hand built to order here at our 20,000 sq ft facility
in Milton Keynes.
