Question 1

What types of projects do you work on?

Accepted Answer

Edit Interiors is a Brisbane-based commercial interior design studio specialising in office, retail, medical and fit-out projects, with a strong focus on buildable documentation and compliance.

Question 2

Can you provide both full-service design and concept development?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer both. Depending on your needs, we can provide concept-only packages or full-service design, including documentation, approvals, and site coordination through to completion.

Question 3

When should I engage an interior designer?

Accepted Answer

As early as possible—ideally before signing a lease or finalising your layout. Early involvement allows us to maximise space, streamline approvals, and align the design with your brand and business goals.

Question 4

How much does a commercial interior designer in Brisbane cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. We offer tailored proposals after an initial consultation. If you're just starting out, we also offer concept packages suited to smaller budgets.

Question 5

Do you manage council approvals and compliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we prepare all necessary drawings and documentation for certifier and council approvals, ensuring compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and DDA.

Question 6

Can you recommend builders or trades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work with trusted trades and builders who understand our design standards and project timelines. We're happy to connect you or coordinate works on your behalf.

Question 7

Do you oversee the project during construction?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide site coordination services, including regular site visits, resolving design queries, and liaising with trades to ensure the design is executed correctly.

Question 8

What is the typical timeline for the design process?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends on the scope. Concept design typically takes 1-2 weeks, while full documentation and approvals can take 2-4 weeks. We’ll provide a clear timeline in your proposal.

Question 9

Do you work with clients outside of Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While we’re based in Brisbane, we take on projects across Australia. Many of our services, including design and documentation, can be delivered remotely.

Question 10

Do allied health clinics require a DDA-compliant bathroom?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Whether a DDA-compliant bathroom is required depends on the existing amenities and whether the fit-out triggers new compliance obligations under the NCC and AS 1428.1. We review the existing approval, tenancy requirements, and scope of works early to confirm what is required and advise accordingly before documentation begins.

Question 11

Can you design a medical clinic that meets compliance without feeling clinical?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In fact, we’re seeing more tenants actively request warm, homely environments rather than traditional clinical aesthetics. While some medical fit-outs do require specialist treatment rooms, there are always opportunities to introduce materials, colours, lighting, and planning strategies that create a calmer, more welcoming experience for patients.

Question 12

Accepted Answer
