04.// our process
Step one
Conceptualization
We begin by understanding your vision, creating initial lighting concepts that align with the design intent and goals of the project.
Step two
Schematic Development
We develop detailed schematic designs, defining lighting layouts, control systems, and energy-efficient solutions tailored to your space.
Step three
Detail Design
Our team refines the design with precise technical specifications, selecting luminaires and systems, and finalizing plans for implementation.
Step four
Tender & IFC
We prepare detailed tender documentation and IFC (Issued for Construction) drawings, ensuring the design is ready for construction and execution.
Step five
Site Supervision
Our team is always On-site. We supervise the project to ensure the lighting installation aligns with the design, maintaining quality control and project timelines.
Step six
Focusing and Handover
We finalize the lighting design with precise focusing, completing all adjustments, and ensure a smooth handover, providing documentation and support for ongoing maintenance.
05.// BIM Lighting
We have in-house Trained & Specialized team of BIM experts who leverage BIM and REVIT to streamline lighting design, ensuring precise 3D modeling, clash detection, energy analysis, and seamless project coordination. Our expertise enhances accuracy, efficiency, and compliance, optimizing lighting solutions for architectural, commercial, and industrial spaces.
