Individually designed spaces, carefully resolved.
Tailored layouts, materials and custom details for projects that need a solution beyond standard systems. Available with ELS+ renovation delivery.
Bespoke applies to homeowner and commercial projects. It is its own service and does not sit under StayReady.
When Bespoke fits
Bespoke fits a project that needs meaningful custom design and development.
- Unusual layouts
- Custom forms
- Integrated systems
- Special finishes
- Detailed fabrication
Bespoke does not simply mean expensive or premium.
Design possibilities
Concealed doors
Custom metalwork
Lighting integration
Tailored storage
These show the range. Whether a detail can be made, and by whom, is assessed for each project.
Development process
- 01
Brief
Your requirements, the site and any existing drawings are recorded.
- 02
Concepts
Design directions are explored as concept studies for you to react to.
- 03
Detailed design
The chosen concept is developed into drawings and details.
- 04
Samples or prototypes, where needed
Where a detail is new, a sample or prototype may be made first. Whether one is needed, and who makes it, is set in your proposal.
- 05
Fabrication specifications
The specifications a fabricator builds from.
Two ways to commission Bespoke
Bespoke Design & Specification
ELS designs and specifies the custom elements, and how the whole space works together. You receive the design and specification deliverables set in your proposal. Delivery is not included unless it is selected and scoped.
Bespoke with ELS+ Delivery
ELS Bespoke — delivered by ELS+.
The same design commission, with ELS+ Renovation Delivery added. ELS+ coordinates the fabricators, contractors and specialist trades named in your proposal, runs quality checks at the stages set there and keeps handover records.
Your contract for the works is with ELS Design and Build; your proposal names each trade and what it supplies. Completion, dates and rectification obligations are the ones set in your contract.
Bespoke and ELS+ are different things
ELS Bespoke describes how extensively a project is customised. ELS+ describes how it is delivered. A Bespoke project can also use ELS+. They are not ascending price tiers.
ELS+
A kitchen using standard ALUMAX cabinets, with new tiles, plumbing, ceiling and electrical work.
ELS Bespoke
A custom kitchen with a curved island, concealed doors and specially fabricated metal details, delivered as drawings and specifications.
ELS Bespoke — delivered by ELS+.
That same custom kitchen with ELS+ coordinating fabrication, installation and the surrounding renovation: ELS Bespoke, delivered by ELS+.
ALUMAX Bespoke products and ELS Bespoke projects
ALUMAX may supply one custom cabinet or metal component; ELS designs how the whole space works together.
Standard ALUMAX products can sit alongside the custom elements. ELS tells you when a recommendation involves ALUMAX or another commercial partner.
How Bespoke is priced
No Bespoke fee is published. The price is set by assessment and stated in your proposal. It depends on design complexity, development work, fabrication and the delivery scope you select.
Project evidence
Concept studies
No completed ELS Bespoke project is published yet.
Until one is, the Design Library's concept studies show design direction. Each is labelled a concept study. None is a completed project.

Is Bespoke more expensive?
Bespoke does not simply mean expensive or premium. The price is set by assessment and stated in your proposal.
Does Bespoke include renovation delivery?
Not automatically. Delivery must be selected and scoped. With ELS+ added, the selected trades are coordinated as set in your proposal. Your contract for the works is with ELS Design and Build; your proposal names each trade and what it supplies.
Can a Bespoke project use standard ALUMAX products?
Yes, alongside the custom elements. Product pricing sits with ALUMAX.
Is Bespoke part of StayReady?
No. Bespoke applies to homeowner and commercial projects. StayReady is a separate rental-readiness offer.
