Technical Interior Documentation
Technical documentation is a critical part of the design process, ensuring that the vision for your space is executed with precision and clarity. This stage involves creating detailed drawings, specifications and guidelines that communicate every aspect of the design to contractors, suppliers and other professionals involved in the project.
​
At 2105 Interiors, we provide comprehensive technical documentation, including floor plans, elevations, section drawings and lighting layouts. These documents specify materials, finishes, and furnishings, ensuring that every detail is fully understood and can be implemented correctly. We also include critical information on installation methods, dimensions and product specifications, so contractors can follow clear instructions, reducing the likelihood of errors or misunderstandings.
​
Since we are not architects, we do not interfere with structural aspects of a building. However, we are more than happy to collaborate with architects if structural changes are necessary, ensuring the design aligns with both aesthetic goals and structural requirements. We focus on creating interior designs that enhance the functionality and beauty of your space, while respecting the integrity of the building’s structure.

Our technical documentation serves as a roadmap for the entire project, helping to eliminate ambiguity during the construction process. By providing detailed instructions and specifications, we ensure that the design is realised exactly as envisioned, minimising risks and delays. The result is a seamless transition from design to build, ensuring high standards and quality throughout the project.

Do you provide structural drawings or alter the structure of the building during a home interior design refurbishment project?
As interior designers, we focus on the interior aspects of the space and do not provide structural drawings or make structural changes to the building, as these tasks require registration as a qualified architect. However, if structural alterations are necessary, we can collaborate with qualified architects to ensure that the design aligns with the building's structural requirements. Our goal is to work with other professionals to deliver a cohesive, functional and aesthetically pleasing result that respects both the architectural integrity and your vision.
