Design Service
Stage 1: Brief
When the Coln Grilles team receives your initial enquiry, our designers will start the creative process by gathering all the relevant information for your project – including your desired dimensions, location, fixings and finish, along with your initial design thoughts.
Where relevant, we will then use our extensive archive of traditional grille designs, along with our own portfolio of work to refine a style and design for you that’s both historically accurate and period correct.
At the end of this initial stage, our team will have a good idea of how many elements will be involved in your design, what kind of process your project will require and how much time it will take us to complete.
Stage 2: Site Survey
If required, we’ll arrange and complete a site survey. We’ll take as many measurements and reference photos as possible and discuss design options with you.
We’ll then use the measurements and information we gather to sketch out our initial thoughts, which we’ll share and discuss with you before we progress to our CAD designs.
At this stage, we may even create a physical sample to show you exactly what your design might look like.
Stage 3: Initial CAD Designs and Renders
Our CAD designs and 3D-models are fantastic tools to help us bring the design process to life for you.
To start with, we’ll chat with you to refine our CAD designs, until you’re happy to progress.
Stage 4: Issuing of Drawings and Finalisation
