Two design services and ELS+ delivery, from a concept render to a coordinated build — plus two priced on a different basis. Each one tells you plainly what you get, what you don't, and how it is charged.
Who each is for, what you receive, how it is charged, whether delivery is included, and where to start. The detail follows below.

Style Adaptation, Design & Specification, Restoration Assessment and Bespoke Design & Specification do not include renovation delivery. Delivery is ELS+ Renovation Delivery, contracted separately.
ELS+ Renovation Delivery is its own proposal. ELS+ works are contracted by ELS Design and Build. Defects, warranty and payments are set in your proposal. Its proposal defines scope and price, completion, changes, quality and rectification. Your proposal sets out the contracting parties, the scope by group, payments, milestones and who rectifies each part. Completion, dates and rectification obligations are the ones set in your contract.
How should it look?
A settled look for the room — the style, the palette and the finishes — decided against your actual house rather than a mood board.
Delivered by Style Adaptation
Find your styleWill the room actually work?
Layout, materials, services and buildability settled and checked against the measured site, developed for procurement and trade coordination — subject to site verification, specialist design and any required approvals.
Delivered by Design & Specification
Specify the roomWho coordinates it all in the right order?
Drawings, procurement sequencing, site coordination and QC hold-points. Your contract for the works is with ELS Design and Build; your proposal names each trade and what it supplies. Under the Managed Project Engagement, who you contract with is not yet confirmed.
Delivered by ELS+ Renovation Delivery or Managed Project Engagement
See the coordination plan Free accountRestoration Assessment applies where there is existing work to put right — alongside any service above. It is a property of the project, not a higher grade of service.
Renovation is a real-time project — once trades are on site, there is very little room to undo a mistake. These tiers exist to move the fact-checking earlier, so the moment you can least afford to be wrong is the one you're best prepared for.
For homeowners placing an ALUMAX product order who want one style across the property.
Fast, low-commitment visualisation to help you form an opinion and choose a direction.
A style direction you can react to and choose from, without a site measurement.
Nothing here is measured on site — the direction is approved against visuals, so there is a real chance the built result differs from what you approved.
For homeowners preparing to build or quote, who need a documented specification rather than a look.
We check your direction for feasibility against the ELS technical site survey (charged separately), then specify it for procurement.
A room-by-room specification checked against the measured site, developed for procurement and trade coordination — subject to site verification, specialist design and any required approvals.
For clients who want the plan executed, not just handed to a contractor.
Your contract for the works is with ELS Design and Build; your proposal names each trade and what it supplies.
Completion against the approved drawings and specification, within the agreed tolerances, with every change recorded as a written variation, and every defect recorded, assigned to the responsible trade and verified when it is put right, with any open items listed in an agreed register at handover.
Four things you can check, instead of a percentage nobody can audit. What moves on a live site is recorded as a variation and agreed before it is built; what is not right at handover stays on the defect list until it is closed.
Priced on a different basis
Neither of these is a higher grade of the three above. Restoration is a condition of the building, and the managed engagement is a percentage of the coordinated project value rather than a design fee.
For a space that needs putting right, at a higher bar.
Recovery and restoration work assessed, with the inspection points the restoration works must pass written into the specification.
What an older or damaged building changes about the scope, assessed before anything is priced.
Planning improvements to an existing space? We help determine what to retain, restore or replace within a defined design or refurbishment scope.
Restoring another party's earlier work does not make ELS responsible for the original defect — that liability stays with whoever built it.
Not included Product supply and installation, which is ALUMAX's scope; Hidden & subsurface conditions; Hazardous materials, asbestos & mould.
For clients who want the design services and ELS+ delivery run as one engagement. Design fees are charged separately.
One engagement that runs the services you commission. Each design service is charged at its own published fee.
Runs the services you commission as one engagement, from design through coordinated handover. Product and trade costs are quoted separately. The 8% covers coordination only; design fees are charged separately.
All figures exclude SST and are ELS design fees and the Managed Project Engagement's fee only — separate from ALUMAX product supply and installation, and from the price of ELS+ contracted works, which is a project-basis quotation in your proposal. A published starting fee is a floor, not a total: the fee for your project is confirmed against the rooms and scope in your brief. The design fee is published as a per-room rate with a four-room bundle rate.
