Plan before you build.

ELS creates a coherent home—from room planning and material combinations to specified products and, when commissioned, coordinated ELS+ delivery.

Concept study

Where to start

  • Start Pre-Check: set out your scope, risks and the support you need.
  • Room Decision System: compare the choices within one room.
  • ELS Design Brief: review the choices you saved and prepare an enquiry.

Start Pre-CheckOpen your Design Brief

Most renovation problems do not start on site.

They start earlier — unclear briefs, wrong materials, missing measurements, poor trade coordination, weak quotation control and decisions made too late.

ELS helps make these decisions visible before work begins.

  • Wrong material
  • Unclear scope
  • Poor coordination
  • Late changes

Start with the room you want to settle.

Four rooms, each with the decisions it needs, in order. The button adds the room to your brief on this device.

    ELS Kitchen

    A kitchen plan you can check before anything is built.

    Helps you settle where you cook, prepare, store and wash up, and which surfaces take the heat and splashes.

    Key decisions
    • Kitchen layout
    • Work zones
    • Worktop and backsplash

    ELS Bathroom

    A bathroom plan that settles the wet-area decisions before tiles and fittings are chosen.

    Helps you settle which areas stay wet and which stay dry, and how water is kept off the rest of the room.

    Typical scope
    Layout, wet and dry zones, floor level and waterproofing, shower or bathtub, vanity and ventilation.
    Key decisions
    • Bathroom layout
    • Wet/dry separation

    ELS Living Room

    A living room plan that starts from how the room is used, then seating, TV wall, storage and lighting.

    Helps you settle how the room is used, where everyone sits and looks, and how storage and lighting support it.

    Typical scope
    Seating, TV wall, storage and display, ceiling, lighting, daylight and cooling.
    Key decisions
    • Primary purpose
    • Seating capacity and layout
    • TV and viewing arrangement
  • Concept study

    ELS Master Bedroom

    A master bedroom plan that fixes the bed and the walkways first, then the wardrobe, window and lighting.

    Helps you settle where the bed goes, how you move around it, and what the wardrobe and window need.

    Typical scope
    Bed position, wardrobe, headboard wall, window and privacy, lighting and cooling.
    Key decisions
    • Bed size
    • Bed position
    • Wardrobe arrangement
