How we work

Our turnkey journey in detail: what happens, how long it takes, what to prepare, and what you get at each stage.

Phase 01

Initial Consultation

Timeframe 1–2 hours, at our studio or over a call

During this first meeting we explore your vision, lifestyle needs and design preferences, your inspirations, how you use your space, and what functionality matters most. It sets the foundation for the whole journey: not just what you want, but why.

What to prepare

Inspiration images or ideas you love
Floor plans or measurements, if available
Styles that resonate with you
Functional requirements for each space
Initial budget and timeline

Outcome

An initial design direction tailored to your needs, a clear sense of next steps, and a shared decision on whether we're the right fit.

Phase 02

Understanding Your Needs

Timeframe 1–2 business days after the consultation

We analyse your lifestyle, space and functional needs in depth (working patterns, storage, lighting and the activities in each area) so your design isn't just beautiful but perfectly functional for how you live.

What to prepare

Daily routines and activities per space
Needs of different family members
Storage and organisation priorities
Work-from-home or specialised needs
Future plans that affect the space

Outcome

A comprehensive needs assessment capturing every functional requirement, the practical blueprint behind every later design decision.

Phase 03

Budget Planning

Timeframe 3–5 business days after the consultation

We build a budget framework aligned to your vision and finances, breaking down costs across materials, furnishings, labour and accessories, identifying where to invest for impact and where sensible alternatives serve just as well.

What to prepare

Overall investment range
Priority areas for larger allocation
Any existing quotes
Items you wish to retain
Long-term investment perspective

Outcome

A detailed budget allocation with transparent cost breakdowns and clear priorities, a financial roadmap that prevents surprises.

Phase 04

Project Kickoff

Timeframe 1-hour meeting, usually within a week of the needs analysis

This meeting marks the official start. We formalise the working relationship, set communication protocols and expectations, outline milestone and decision dates, and introduce the team who'll bring your vision to life.

What to prepare

Estimate signing and initial payment
Preferred communication and availability
Decision-makers for key stages
Any scheduling constraints
Site access details

Outcome

A detailed project roadmap with milestones, a communication plan with your dedicated project manager, and access to our client portal to track progress.

Phase 05

Design Creation

Timeframe 3–4 weeks, depending on size and complexity

Your vision takes visual form. We create spatial layouts, material palettes, furniture and lighting plans (detailed 2D floor plans, immersive 3D visualisations and curated material boards) so you experience the space before any work begins.

What to prepare

Availability for progress reviews
Openness to creative possibilities
Clear preferences as designs evolve
Decisions at scheduled checkpoints
Notes on any evolving priorities

Outcome

Complete design documentation (floor plans, 3D renderings, material selections, furniture specs and custom designs) so you decide with full clarity before implementation.

Phase 06

Project Execution

Timeframe Varies; typically 45–90 days for residential

We bring the design to life, coordinating contractors, procurement, custom fabrication and installation, with rigorous quality control through regular site visits and progress reviews so every element meets our standards.

What to prepare

Site access as scheduled
Timely responses to queries
Availability for site walkthroughs
Flexibility for minor adjustments
Prompt decisions on any surprises

Outcome

Your design materialises with weekly progress updates, photo documentation and quality checks. We handle all vendor coordination and timelines for a stress-free build.

Phase 07

Completion & Walkthrough

Timeframe 2–3 hour walkthrough, with a 30-day follow-up

The final phase. We walk through the finished project with you in detail, demonstrate functionality, explain maintenance, answer questions, and complete the final styling touches that bring the design to life.

What to prepare

Time for an unhurried inspection
Questions on care and maintenance
Any details needing adjustment
A camera to document the space
Feedback on your experience

Outcome

A complete handover package (maintenance guides, warranty information, vendor contacts and care instructions) and a beautifully transformed home to enjoy.

Process FAQ

Common questions

Do I have to choose turnkey?

No. Turnkey is how we work in Pune and Mumbai, but it's one of several ways to work with us, not a requirement. If you'd rather keep control of execution, we can give you a complete, build-ready design to build with your own team; if you want our oversight while you build, we offer design and supervision; and for owners outside our cities or living abroad, we run either model remotely. The right choice depends on how involved you want us to be in the build.

Compare the ways we work Design services

How long does a full project take?

A full turnkey home typically takes around four to six months from first drawing to handover, though the exact timeline depends on your home's size, scope, and how quickly selections are approved. The design phase runs roughly four to six weeks to a complete, build-ready set; site execution and finishing make up the rest. Whatever the scope, we commit to a dated handover at the start, so your timeline is fixed rather than open-ended, and you'll get a realistic schedule for your specific home at the first consultation.

See our process

How do payments work?

Payments are tied to milestones, never a single lump sum. Before any work begins you approve a line-item BOQ, so you can see exactly what you're paying for; from there, payments are released stage by stage as the project hits agreed milestones. Everything is spelled out up front, so there are no surprise costs mid-project: you always know what's paid, what's pending, and what it covers.

How we price

Can I see progress while it's being built?

Yes. Because execution is handled by our own team rather than a subcontracted one, we track your project on a weekly site report you can see, so you always know what's happening on site, even if you can't visit. For NRI and remote clients, we share regular photo and video updates so you can follow every stage from anywhere. You stay in control of your home throughout the build, wherever you are.

For NRI and remote owners

What happens after handover?

Handover isn't where we disappear. Every turnkey project comes with a 3-year workmanship warranty on our execution, plus manufacturer warranties on fittings and hardware, so anything that needs attention after you move in is covered. We also walk the finished home with you to close out any final snags before handover, so you're moving into a home that's genuinely ready.
