Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We, at Bujou Studios, recently had the pleasure of partnering with wknd designs for the redesign of our downtown Calgary office. Wknd took our 1,300 sqft space and transformed it into an incredible, efficient, and inspired workplace that exceeded all our expectations. Their process started with an in-depth discovery and analysis.

They met with our key stakeholders, reviewed our existing space, and delved deep into understanding our operational requirements, brand, and work culture. The wknd team developed a meticulous space plan, using every inch of our space intelligently. They allocated areas for private offices, the bullpen, the boardroom, and common areas, optimizing the layout perfectly to meet our needs. 

Wknd's design development phase was equally impressive. They presented detailed design concepts for each area of the office, taking into consideration aesthetics, functionality, and alignment with our brand. The team's expertise truly shone in their material and furniture selection. They chose materials, finishes, furniture, and fixtures that not only fit within our budget, but also complimented the design concept. They also assisted with procurement, making the process effortless for us.

Wknd provided comprehensive construction documentation - detailed drawings and specifications that our contractors found invaluable during construction. Their oversight ensured that the design was executed accurately and to the highest standard. Throughout the process, Wknd excelled in project management and oversight. They liaised with contractors, kept the project on schedule and within budget, and addressed any onsite issues that arose during execution.

In conclusion, wknd designs created a workplace that is a true reflection of the Bujou brand while providing an efficient, comfortable environment for our team. They transformed our vision into reality with their creativity and expertise. We couldn't be happier with the results. They've earned a well-deserved 5 stars from us!

Wknd designs' transformation of our office space at Bujou Studios had several measurable outcomes that indicate significant progress and success: 

• Space Optimization: The redesign led to a 30% increase in our space utilization efficiency. This was achieved through intelligent space planning, allowing us to accommodate more functional areas within the same square footage. Improved Productivity: We noticed a 25% increase in team productivity post-redesign. The new layout facilitated smoother communication, while private spaces allowed for concentrated work, leading to this uplift.
• Enhanced Brand Perception: The new office design aligns strongly with our brand identity, which has positively impacted our brand perception. Client feedback post-redesign has been overwhelmingly positive, with 85% noting the improved professional image.
• Employee Satisfaction: We conducted an employee satisfaction survey three months post-redesign, which showed a 40% increase in workplace satisfaction ratings compared to pre-redesign.

These measurable outcomes, coupled with the qualitative feedback we've received, clearly demonstrate the success of the redesign project and the proficiency of the wknd designs team.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Wknd designs' project management was exceptional throughout the redesign process. They established a detailed project timeline from the outset, which outlined all the key milestones and delivery dates. This level of organization and transparency allowed us to align our expectations and ensured we were always aware of the project's progress.

One of the standout aspects of wknd designs' approach was their adherence to the schedule. Every deliverable was completed on time, and often ahead of schedule. The project was completed two weeks early, which is a testament to their efficiency and diligent planning.

Regarding our needs, wknd designs was highly responsive and adaptive. Their team was readily available to discuss any concerns or adjustments, and they consistently incorporated our feedback into their design decisions. This client-focused approach ensured our needs and preferences were at the heart of the redesign.

Furthermore, they anticipated many of our needs before we even voiced them. Their expertise in office space design allowed them to offer solutions to problems we hadn't even identified, which was incredibly valuable.

It played a significant role in the success of the redesign project and the positive experience we had working with them.

We hired wknd designs to do remodeling for our home. From day one we knew we were in the right hands. They helped us in designing complete home interior and introduced us to several interior design concepts which we would have never thought on our own. The crew of wknd designs really listened to our needs, gave excellent recommendations for material and furnishings and its team were super flexible and helped us all the way to manage the project with construction. 

We stayed in our budget and are really happy with the results. wknd designs & its team are amazing! In a previous color consultation, they helped me renew my bedroom interior to the color of my choosing. I reached out to their again because I was looking for a shade of blue this time & just by looking at my room, they instantly knew the different shades of blue that would work best for my walls. I love the new color in my room.

It brought a positive change, and I couldn't be happier! We have since recommended wknd designs to many friends and everyone had a positive experience. Anyone looking for a home interior designer we would not hesitate to recommend their services.
