Resolve the space in the design.
Deliver it coherently.
We reorganise the apartment, define materials and details and prepare the information needed for pricing. Clients may commission the design, site support or a selected delivery by ARQE.

01 — Before requesting prices
Settle the main decisions to receive comparable proposals.
When each company interprets a renovation differently, prices are no longer directly comparable and urgent decisions appear after work begins.
The design organises the intervention before tender: layout, demolition, materials, joinery, kitchens, lighting, services and required work. Where changes are subject to council or condominium control, that framework is also assessed.
02 — From existing space to completion
A realistic project connected to budget and construction.
The level of detail is defined by the intervention. We can develop only the design or retain coordination during tender and construction.

05 — Frequently asked questions
Before renovating an apartment.
Does an internal renovation require approval?+
It depends on the work and the property. Structural changes, façades, uses or interventions in certain areas may require procedures or permissions. ARQE assesses the case before defining the service.
Can I commission only the design?+
Yes. The design can be issued for consultation with companies selected by the client. Site support, supervision and construction are separate services.
Can the design include the kitchen, joinery and lighting?+
Yes, according to the agreed scope and level of detail. The proposal lists the drawings and schedules to be developed.
Can ARQE carry out the work?+
ARQE may prepare a proposal when the size, location and programme fit the team’s availability. Construction is not a condition for commissioning the design.
Start the renovation
Do you have an apartment to transform?
