The Process

Good design is built on a series of considered decisions. Our six-stage process brings clarity and direction to each stage of your project.

Following the Project Consultation, we present a bespoke Project Direction and Guide to Scope & Fees, setting out the proposed approach and next steps.

01

Design Direction

Establishing your brief, priorities and creative direction through key concepts that guide the design.

02

Design Development

Developing the agreed concepts into coordinated layouts, materials, finishes, lighting, joinery and furnishings, presented in person at the Barker Design Studio for review and refinement.

03

Technical Detailing

Preparing detailed drawings, specifications and schedules for contractor pricing and construction. Contractor selection and tender support can be provided where required.

04

Procurement & Coordination

Sourcing and ordering approved items, and coordinating suppliers, specialist trades, deliveries and installation.

05

Project Support

Providing site visits, contractor liaison and design coordination, and responding to queries as work progresses.

Completing the final layers of artwork, accessories and styling, followed by snagging and handover.

“We have been delighted with the work of the Barker Design team, particularly in how they ran the project, steering us painlessly through the process making our ideas a reality, far greater than anything we could have achieved ourselves.”

Claire & Dan, Sevenoaks

Not every project requires a full interior design service. If you’re looking for advice on a particular room, design challenge or key decision, The Barker Consultancy offers flexible support through a one-off Design Fix or Ongoing Consultancy.
