SERVICES / TOKYO
Design and build brings the design conversation closer to procurement and site delivery. We establish the scope, responsibilities and decision sequence before advancing the concept. A coordinated process helps clients understand how a drawing becomes a specification, an order and a finished space.

For Tokyo projects, the programme must account for building review, specialist interfaces, procurement lead times and installation access. We set out what is included and what remains with the owner or building team. Turnkey interior design should mean a clearly defined handover, not an assumption that every task is included. Changes are recorded with their cost and timing implications before implementation.
Before work starts, we agree the deliverables, review stages and responsibilities. Share the available plans, area, preferred timing and operating priorities. Where information is incomplete, the proposal should identify the checks needed rather than conceal assumptions inside an attractive image.
Define use, audience, site and investment priorities before choosing a visual direction.
Compare layouts and material ideas against the brief; make the important decisions visible.
Connect the interior package with specialists, building review, procurement and programme.
Review execution, resolve outstanding items and prepare for the agreed handover.
The sequence is adapted to the appointment and the building. Cost, procurement and design reviews are linked so that approvals happen with useful information. We identify specialist interfaces early and record changes before implementation.

Scope and responsibility matrix, Design development and cost checkpoints, Procurement and construction coordination, Quality reviews, snagging and handover. The appointment confirms the exact deliverables, exclusions and specialist responsibilities.
We assess the area, existing information, complexity, required drawings and delivery involvement. A project-specific proposal separates design work from construction and procurement assumptions, so the basis of comparison is clear.
Yes, the starting point is a responsibility review and access to the available drawings and building information. We identify interfaces and missing information before finalising the programme or technical package.
We clarify the brief, discuss suitability and identify the information needed for a proposal. Once scope and appointment are agreed, the work progresses through concept, coordination and the agreed implementation stages.
