Design and Project Management Service

Kitchen renovation sounds exciting , but in reality, it takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention special skills, knowledge and a network of reliable and efficient suppliers and contractors. Glamour magazines, bold Instagram photos and TikTokers might make you think that all you have to think about is DESIGN. However, the process of renovation includes some other aspects to think about, such as electrical, plumbing, plastering, demolition etc services. Everyone, from the perpetually late plumber to the installer who wants to turn your home into a workshop, seems to have forgotten that you still have work to do and life to live! 

Here comes a project manager! 

Our Design and Project manager will lead your kitchen renovation project from the initial meeting, plan, schedule and estimate the project within your budget, select, engage and liaise with  contractors and fabricators, monitor and control all the stages of you kitchen renovation project as specified in project documentation to ensure the deliveries meet the requirements and the budget. 

Our goal is to ensure your kitchen is up-to-date, functional, ergonomic and perfectly tailored to meet your unique needs, values, and aspirations.

We offer

• Expertise in the latest technological advancements and trends in interior design;
• Professional coordination of the project from initiation to completion: nothing is left unattended or incomplete;
• Support and professional advice at all stages: we do not charge you for talks!

Design & Project Manager from F- Studio on the Mars is a person who LOVES solving problems but prefers not to have them at all; who takes on your risks to mitigate them; who THRIVES in complex and challenging tasks but wants everything to be simple, clear and achievable.
