— FAQ
Questions about commercial design online
The questions people ask before opening or renovating commercial premises.
I have an opening date. Is there time?
Put the date in the brief. Each proposal gives the timeline per stage and you compare who can deliver on time.
Does the design meet building regulations and fire safety?
Permit drawings and professional liability can be part of the proposal. Say the type of business in the brief, because the requirements change with the activity.
Do I need an architect or an interior designer?
If there are works, services or approvals, an architect. If the unit is ready and the focus is layout, brand identity and furniture, a designer. The proposals show who answers each case.
How much does a commercial design cost?
Publishing is free. Each professional sends their own proposal, with a price and a timeline. You pay per stage, as you approve the deliveries.
Can the design follow my brand guidelines?
Yes. Attach the brand manual or photos of other units to the brief and the professional designs from it.
