This is a working meeting allowing JBD to fully understand the proposed project, as well as discussing budgets, timelines and next steps.

Following the initial consultation we provide a scope of works for the project, outlining how JBD projects are brought to fruition and outline JBD’s estimated costs to work on the project.

Projects begin with a questionnaire where clients collate project fundamentals to JBD. We review the questionnaire, then schedule a coffee to investigate and imagine the projects potential, together.

We collectively examine the proposed budget and timelines to understand the opportunities they offer for the project. During this exchange the heart and soul of the project sparks between client and designer. We listen intently and intuitively. Gathering details on the projects ambitions, its purpose and how the project is to be received when fully accomplished.

This allows JBD to fully immerse ourselves within a projects creative momentum.

During the define stage JBD assembles information which provides the canvas onto which we will create our concept.

We envelop ourselves in the clients brief, fully consider the immediate and surrounding environment. Gather information on the physical spaces, the requirements of those spaces and how those spaces will work and interact to be the most successful.

Liaising with project stakeholders on important site specific requirements and reference legislation which will impact the concept.

With information brought together during the define stage, the process of layering to create a concept blossoms.

Our concepts respond thoughtfully, capturing a clients brief and fundamental project requirements. At concept stage we work hard to establish the heart and soul of the projects identity. This identity informs our projects sincerity, consistency and individuality. Ensuring our concept best reflects our clients ambitions.
