Interior Design Services

Small to medium projects are the projects that are needed periodically, within a short period, and could be designed within 5 to 14 workdays. The work on small to medium projects does not include the executing phase. Execution requests are submitted individually through our Freshdesk system which is subject to the Interior Design project execution request policies.

Examples

Small Projects: 

• Renovating interior zones: furniture distribution – lighting adjustments
• Specific wall treatment: Wall coverings - lighting adjustments

Medium size projects:

• Event booth design, with a space no larger than 16 square meters.
• Interior design for a space that is no larger than 16 square meters.
• Notice: These types of projects require IAU's President's prior approval.

Duration

The time to schedule a project is subjected to the following:

• Availability of all documents and requirements mentioned below
• The intensity of previously scheduled projects

Requirements

1. Determine the design site and provide its necessary blueprints (preferably in AutoCAD format). If you have any important remarks or suggestions, please provide them before our team starts the design process.
2. Determine the budget set for design execution to provide a design proposal that is suitable.
3. Attach interior zone photos with concentration on the details you desire to be designed.
4. If the required design is an interior zone renovation with available furniture and accessories, please provide a list of the available pieces: furniture – lights - plants
5. If the design includes mural graphic designs, then the scheduling of the project will be in unison with the graphic design work timeline and requirements 
6. If the request is for designing an event that will be held in one month or more. The request might be postponed to the following week if there are other design requests which will be held in a preceding time.
7. If the design request requires execution as well, you must take this into consideration and send a design request ahead of time so we will have enough time to complete the project.
8. If your ticket consists of more than two of the mentioned examples it will be classified as a large project, therefore you should submit your request ahead of time according to the large project's duration.
9. The project will not be added to the work schedule unless all requirements are fulfilled.
10. Our role is complete after the designs are sent to the client. You are free to contact external executing agencies or to submit a separate request for execution supervision.

These types of projects are characterized by having various requirements and a longer completion period which is no less than one month from startup. Most of these projects represent the university on a large scale, therefore the time to prepare such projects will be lengthened due to their importance and because they consume much effort and time to complete.

Examples:

• Event booth design, larger than 16 square meters
• Complete interior design for a zone that is larger than 16 square meters. This type requires the president's approval.
• A large-scale educational institutions event that consists of exhibitions, conferences, and events.

Before and After Duration

The duration for scheduling a project is subjected to the following:

• Availability of all documents and requirements to be able to receive accurate price quotations from contractors.
• A lag time to receive various price quotations which cannot be predicted because it is subjected to the contractor (third party).
• Previously scheduled projects' work intensity
• Implementation of projects ranges from one month to more according to the project work scope.

General notes: 

• The Freshdesk system is the only approved medium to receive content and remarks. Therefore, content and remarks received through any other medium will be discarded.
• The project's duration will be calculated when the project is added to the work schedule and not upon submission because the team is usually committed to previously scheduled projects.
• The mentioned duration might be subject to change according to the unit's circumstances:
• In some periods of the year the unit's work schedule is cleared to work on a large IAU-related project therefore, we apologize for not being able to serve you during these times.
