The design process

Bespoke design service

Heaven & Stubbs offers a tailor-made, bespoke service. This means working very closely with you, at every stage of the design process to ensure that your furniture commission is exactly as you want it. Remember, at Heaven & Stubbs, no two customers are the same and therefore it follows that no two commissions are alike!

Stage one

Initial Meeting and Measure Up

After you have made contact, we arrange a meeting. This can either be at our showroom or your home. At this meeting, we discuss your likes and dislikes as well as your tastes and requirements. We will also carefully measure up your room space. It might be that this could be done at stage 1 / the initial meeting – it it’s to be held at your home. We can also work from architects drawings.

Stage two

Proposal Meeting

After a period of around 7 to 10 working days, we arrange to get together with you again to discuss a proposed layout and budget costs for furniture / cabinetry. At this stage, the drawings are of a floor plan type.

Stage three

Reflect Changes

Following stage 3, we come back to you, if necessary, with revised floor-plan drawings and any amendments to furniture / cabinetry costs. The floor-plans and proposed costs – together with imagery from our brochures and website can often be enough for clients to take the decision of placing an order. However, we appreciate that some clients prefer a greater degree of visual insight and this is why we offer the option of CGi:

CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) Option

Heaven & Stubbs offer a CGI service of the highest quality, giving you photo-realistic imagery (up to 4 x images / views) of your commission – as it would look within the context of your home, with proposed lighting, wall and floor coverings in place. Below is a sample of CGI imagery:

The CGI option costs £600 – refundable if / when your order is placed. Additional images are £144 each.

Stage four

Order Placement

With all drawings and furniture / cabinetry manufacturing costs agreed, we then ask you if you would like to place an order. This will secure a production slot and a fitting date. At this stage, we would require a deposit, in line with our pre agreed *Payment / Term & Conditions.
We then proceed to Auto – CAD drawings. The drawings show elevations and 3D perspectives and are very detailed. Not only are they used for the actual manufacturing of your furniture commission, but also, by the builder and trades for both the correct and accurate location of plumbing and electrics.

Stage five

Choices Meeting

At this meeting, not only do we go through the Auto-CAD drawings with you, to ensure that everything is correct, but also, we work with you to make some essential choices that will affect both the look and performance of your furniture commission. These choices will include cabinetry/ furniture finishes (external and internal), handles / knobs and if it’s a kitchen commission, work-tops, sinks, taps and of course – appliances.

Stage six

Fitting your Commission

In line with your agreed fitting date, your furniture commission will be delivered and then installed by our own professional fitting team to ensure the perfect fit and finish.
