If design is about improving the quality of life while meeting aesthetic standards, then interior designers are artists who create a better living space. Generally, customers have a relatively abstract design concept, and preferred style statements. The biggest role of an interior designer is to materialize the customer's abstract concept in a professional way, and provide professional opinions and services to customers who are not familiar with interior construction.

1. Spatial integrity

2. Functionality and understand client's needs & habits

5. 3D rendering and construction drawing

6. In line with project budget

First, we work closely with you to understand your preferences and create a functional design that reflects your personality and specific needs. In terms of aesthetics, we create a cozy and beautiful living space by considering factors such as space, lighting, color, materials and functions. Based on the style direction we discuss, we will provide you with a series of 3D renderings and construction drawings. In the final stage of the project, we will provide a decoration service to make the space come alive through decoration.

For private homes, most interior designers work within the mid to high-end market tier and may have access to sources that can provide select furniture pieces at competitive rates, sometimes below retail price. However, it’s important to note that the size of the project can impact the overall budget and the designer’s ability to work within a specific budget range.

The design plan needs to be approved by the client at every stage to avoid surprises and ensure that the client is satisfied with the results.

The difference between contractor and interior design company is interior design company will provide relevant suggestions and knowledges after understanding the overall space and client's needs. We will take around a month to provide all the design drawings before proceeding to the process of estimation and contract before the project start, in order to avoid the price raised after the contract signed.

A professional interior design company needs to include the following responsibilities and services to make the overall project go smoothly and accurately achieve the desired results:

• Understand the client's needs (Daily routine, life preferences, etc.)

• Unit features (Seating orientation, floor level, partitions, etc.)

• Interior materials (Paint, wood, glass, steel, marble, etc.)

• Architectural expertise (Ergonomics, space planning, plumbing, fire safety, lighting, aesthetic design, etc.)

• Building code and legislation

• Supervision and inspection of projects (Good communication with contractors and technicians)

• Software (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop, 3ds Max, etc.)

• Design schematics (Floor plan, elevation, video, virtual reality, etc.)

Therefore, if client desires the design with more personalized needs or want to design from scratch, interior design company plays a pivotal role.

That is needed. Because the construction project process in Hong Kong involves some actions that may cause accidents, such as handling, wiring arrangement, etc. In the unfortunate case, in addition to the interior design company being responsible for the compensation of its employees involved in the interior decoration project, the property owner may also bear a certain amount of compensation. Our interior design company recommends that owners purchase relevant insurance, such as third-party insurance, etc. before carrying out renovation projects. Owners can also ask the design company to cover the owner's personal insurance in its third-party insurance annual insurance plan or single insurance plan. Join as an additional insured to enhance protection during the renovation project. Generally speaking, the premium of this kind of insurance will be lower than that of the owner purchasing third-party insurance independently.

There are no certain standards for interior design company fees, because factors such as materials used, and the craftsmanship will all affect the fees for the relevant interior projects. Therefore, customers are advised to have detailed communication with the interior design company first so that the design flow can be clearly and thoroughly listed to reduce misunderstandings and avoid any hidden or unforeseen charges.

OVC Design's professional interior designers maintain communication with customers at all times to understand your needs in detail, in order to provide the most accurate interior design recommendations and quotations.

Typically, the interior design process involves a few stages, which include concept design with wellness and sustainability consultation, design development, construction drawings, pricing and construction management.

The time it takes to complete the design process varies based on the project’s size and complexity. For a 1,000 sq ft flat, expect approximately 2 months for the design phases and 4-5 months for the construction phase. However, this timeline may vary depending on the scope of the project, the client’s requirements, and the availability of materials and contractors.
