Interior projects rarely start with something broken. They start with a layout that has stopped matching how a household lives or how a business trades. The work is as much about sequencing and protecting an occupied space as it is about the building itself, which is why the scope and the programme get agreed before anything comes out.

Questions
Often yes, depending on the scope. We will be straight with you about which stages are genuinely disruptive, such as anything that takes out a kitchen or a bathroom, and plan the sequence around that.
It depends on the scope, the building and how long approvals take in your building or with the city. The written scope gives an expected duration for your project rather than a general figure.
Where work needs permits or filings, that is set out in the scope so you can see what is included before you commit.
You hear about it at the time, with the options and what each one changes about the cost and the programme. Nothing gets decided quietly and settled up at the end.
