-

-
We work with you independently on your build from end-to-end—from your first point of contact, initial concept development, initial spatial planning and structural design - while connecting you with the best professional and construction team members along the way to suit your objectives, existing structure and location. Our service offers you end-to-end project stewardship, design specification, material specification, and procurement.
Design & Curation
We translate your lifestyle into a cohesive design narrative. We guide you through the complex world of finishes, fixtures, and materials, curating selections that elevate the design and align with the soul of your project.
World Class Design Specification
We develop detailed scaled spatial plans, design elevations, scaled cabinetry design, detailed scaled drawings, material application specifications, World Class 3D visualisations of your space and Fixtures, Finishes and Equipment schedule, providing you with a detailed, scaled and specific set of design documentaion to guide your build team.
Procurement & Delivery
As your ‘Principal’ (see Page 6), we take full accountability for specifying, sourcing, and managing the complex logistics of every product. We own this process from the global supplier to your regional site.
Strategic & Market Insights
We are your strategic partner during the crucial pre-construction phase. Our value extends beyond design; we provide critical insights into supply chains and material costs. This allows you to make smart, value-based decisions before the build begins—identifying where to invest and how to allocate your budget effectively.
Team Collaboration & Design Integrity
We provide our detailed specifications, drawings, and procurement schedules to your chosen builder. As a key partner, we perform periodic site reviews (as outlined in your project scope).
The purpose of these visits is not to supervise construction; it is to collaborate with the build team to protect the design integrity and ensure the vision is executed as intended.
Our project calendar is carefully managed to ensure full stewardship for every build we take on. Please note that this is a completely independent advisory role covering stewardship, design and material specification, procurement and site consulting on Minted design specifications.
Although we connect you with possible builders, trades and third party professionals required to execute your project, - we do not project manage these parties and remain fully independent at all times. This gives you access to fully independent advisory to tackle project challenges if they arise.

-
We manage the entire supply chain, including quoting, supplier communication, and organisation of logistics (freight, storage, and install) leveraging our trusted network to meet your construction milestones. This minimises stress and risk for complex regional projects. De-risking your Project:
By managing procurement, we eliminate the risk of costly specification errors, supplier misinterpretations, or counterfeit materials, which are common when design and procurement are fragmented.
One Point of Accountability:
You have a single point of contact responsible for the entire process. If there is an issue, we own it and we solve it. We warranty the outcome, not just the idea.
Design Integrity:
Our designs are not just concepts; they are buildable, procurable realities. Our exclusive supplier relationships, freight networks and deep product knowledge are part of the service you are engaging.

Our "Principal" procurement model is designed to give you a seamless service for all specified finishes and furniture. To ensure the correct professional is accountable for the right task, we separate project materials into two categories:
Goods We Procure as Principal (Your F.F.&E. Budget)
This covers the items we source, sell, and deliver directly to you. We take full logistical and financial accountability for these products which are specified from our fully vetted and trusted supply partners who we have been working with for over a decade.
This category includes:
Furniture, Decor & Artwork
Tiles
Tapware, Lighting & Fittings
Custom Upholstery & Textiles
Bespoke Wall Linings
Floor surfaces such as genuine timber floors, tiles and pavers.
Custom furniture
2. Materials Specified for Builder Procurement
This category includes items that are integral to the construction and must be procured and managed by your engaged builder, often aligned with building standards and codes your builder takes liability for.
We are still your designer and specifier for visible items. We will create the full design and specify the exact material, finish, and supplier.
Your builder is then responsible for the final site measure, ordering, and installation. This ensures a single point of accountability for these high-risk, site-dependent items. This category includes:
Stone Slabs (for benchtops and fireplaces)
Cabinetry Materials (e.g., specific laminates, veneers, hardware)
General Construction Materials
