This influences my approach to the project brief and scope.

Should the client accept the proposal, I will then start with timeline planning, sourcing and costing. In the event that my proposal requires editing or adjustment to suit the client\u2019s needs, I will go back to the drawing board to ensure satisfaction in this regard.<\/p><p>Once the final selections and plans are agreed on, the \u201creal\u201d work begins, whether is it building from scratch, revamping an existing space or only breathing in some fresh decorative air.
