How we work

The Process

Every JDV project begins with exceptional design. What differs is how that design is brought to life — and where in the world we are building it.

Package one

Just Design

The full design vision, executed by your own team.

Ideal for clients who require a fully developed design while managing the implementation through their own contractor or project team. Every project is thoughtfully developed to ensure a cohesive, functional and timeless result, with every detail carefully considered before construction begins.

Your Just Design Package provides everything required to confidently execute your project, while allowing you the flexibility to manage the implementation independently.

Step by step

The Journey

JDV works both nationally and internationally. The design standard never changes — the sequence does, shaped by whether we are on site with you or collaborating across time zones.

South African projects, residential or commercial — with on-site consultations, physical site visits and JDV-coordinated production and installation.

01

Design & Professional Fee Approval

JDV calculates the professional design fee based on the project scope and size. This fee reflects the full design, coordination and implementation service. Adjustments may be made if the scope changes or additional services are requested — ensuring transparency and alignment on the investment required.

02

Initial Consultation

We meet on site — or virtually if needed — to understand your vision, lifestyle and project goals, including priorities, preferred finishes and operational needs for each space. Full project scope, timelines and constraints are established from the very beginning.

03

Receive Client Architectural Model

JDV receives the architect's model and uses it to design all interior and exterior detail.

04

Interior Design & Planning — Phase 1

Our team develops the initial design concept, including layout planning, material palettes and preliminary finishes. This stage creates a cohesive aesthetic vision and establishes the design principles that guide the remainder of the project.

05

Client Meeting & Site Visit

We visit the property to assess it and review the initial concept in context, allowing real-world evaluation of spatial flow, lighting and structural elements. Client feedback is gathered to refine the design for the next phase.

06

Interior Design & Planning — Phase 2

Based on the site visit we refine layouts, select materials, finishes and functional elements, and finalise the interior concept — ensuring every aspect meets your vision, lifestyle requirements and investment considerations.

07

Drafting for General Plans

JDV prepares detailed general plans including layout, joinery, lighting placement and spatial planning, ensuring all structural and functional elements are accurately documented and ready for coordination with contractors.

08

Drafting Continues & Costing — General Items

While drafting continues, JDV provides costing for general items such as tiles, doors, architraves, curtains, wall finishes, skirtings and lighting — aligning budget with the approved design early in the process.

09

Present Quotation — General Items

JDV shares a detailed quotation for review and approval, allowing informed decisions on finishes, materials and quantities before moving into renders and additional costing phases.

Four-Week Render Process

JDV creates 3D renders of all spaces, including finishes, materials, furniture layouts and lighting concepts — a realistic visual representation that lets you experience the proposed interior before production.

11

Client Render Presentation

The final renders are presented for review. Feedback is gathered to confirm the design direction and finalise decisions prior to additional costing for JDV-supplied items.

JDV coordinates production and installation, liaising with contractors, third-party specialists and our in-house teams so that every element is executed according to the approved design and quality standards.

Snag List & Final Walkthrough

JDV conducts a detailed walkthrough — virtual or in person — to identify outstanding items, verify quality and ensure client satisfaction. Necessary adjustments are made promptly.

17

Warranty & Guarantee Handover

All warranties and guarantees for products and finishes are handed over, along with guidance on care and maintenance to ensure longevity and enjoyment of the design.

18

Project Completion & Final Sign-Off

JDV ensures every element is completed to standard and obtains written sign-off from the client, marking the official completion of the project.
