Frequently Asked Questions

  • Interior design is all about the creative and functional aspects of your space. We look at how your overall space feels, choosing colors, materials, furniture, lighting, and layout to bring a cohesive vision to life when sourcing furniture or applying custom modifications on a minor basis. Core Fit-out, on the other hand, is the physical execution of that vision. It involves structural modifications, installations, flooring, partitions, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) work, and everything required to transform an empty or outdated space into a fully functional and finished environment.

  • A project for design can vary depending on the size of your home, the requirements you may have, the style and preference, and how many revisions you would like to review but typically can be anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks. Fit-Out renovation for on-site works takes anywhere from 30 - 120 days depending on the size of your property, the customisation requirements and the government or external developer approvals.

  • No. Our role is to support with guidance based around your budget or allocated spend for your home project. We can either appoint or support with your appointment of the contractor for the project. Subject to our scope of work, we can also handle the end-to-end process to ensure it’s smooth and stress-free! From ideation and design, technical drawings and 3D Renderings to contractor appointment, inventory cost management and design supervision of the third parties.

  • We actually spend a lot of time with our clients at the pre launch briefing meeting to get to know you and your family on a more personal level; this enables us to craft your dream home with you. Many of our clients provide us with a blank canvas to create something special, whilst others may also have samples of projects or insights such as pinterest moodboards or specific properties they may have seen that a style can be matched to.

  • Yes! We do everything from consultancy styling, home furnishing, interior design (360”), fit-out etc but we do work with what’s available whether that be existing furniture, layouts, budgets; it is your home, our role is to support you in enhancing your space; not taking away anything important.

  • Yes. This is a mandatory stage for us, as part of the ideation stage before your approvals we do a project submission for you to showcase how your project will come to life parallel to providing a breakdown of the costing structure for key areas.

  • Yes! We do a physical moodboard sampling with you after we have provided the BOQ and costing structure during the project go-live period, this will enable you to visualise what your home will look like with the executed material.

  • NH Design works a little differently to the market, we do not quote at random. We first take a look at your budget with you, and then within this build a solution that fits to ensure you can maximise your material quality, craftsmanship by form of contractor appointment and supplier type. When it comes to the financial cap, you are leading the conversation - we just manage this for the site with you. Remember, the role here is to partner with you and to ensure your financial budget for the project is on-track.

  • For interior design and home solutions, it comes down to the grade and type of furniture / accessories that we supply ie local, regional or international stores / brand names. For fit-out, there are two main driving areas which are material type/grade/quality and contractor level of expertise. The better quality of the material paired with a stronger contractor increases the price, so we aim to find a blend of all best fit matched results based on your project requirements.

  • Yes, we handle the end-to-end process depending on what your requirements are and what we have partnered with you on; we work with the developers and the relevant authorities to gain the necessary permits and approvals to go-live with main works along with obtaining clearances post project; we also work closely with the contractors whilst they are applying for their passes and NOC’s etc.

  • We have trusted contractors we regularly work with on all grade levels and all budgets, but we’re open to collaborating with your preferred contractors as and when required.

  • It depends on the scope of work. For major renovations, temporary relocation is recommended, but for minor updates and home styling/furnishing; remaining at home should not be a problem. This is discussed during the pre go-live meeting.

  • We believe that all clients, no matter what their requirements are, should have access to a support system for design. We have worked on projects ranging from single rooms in villas and studios to full fit-outs for penthouses and large villas. We approach our clients as they approach; with the view of knowing it will be a great partnership, the rest, the scope we can take care of!

  • Yes, we have an office based in U.A.E however due to the nature of our business we do not spend much time working from there. For ease of convenience for our clients, all of our meetings are conducted on sites, at personal residences (to review the scope of work!), coffee shops or during lunch at your preferred venue. Our teams are remote for quick and reliable access to live sites and urgent support when needed!
