Manufacture
Manufacture follows design approval and production scheduling.

Start with what you have

A useful first brief

  • Room type, location and what you want to achieve
  • Photos, rough dimensions, sketches or existing plans
  • Inspiration, materials or finishes you like

Help us recommend the right route

These details help the discussion; missing drawings or an undecided finish should not stop you getting in touch. A budget range helps us keep the proposal realistic.

Stage 01 / 05

Share your starting point

Photos, a sketch or an idea are enough.

Your part
  • Send your room type, location and what the furniture needs to do.
  • Add rough dimensions, plans or inspiration if available.
Our part
  • We review your space and priorities and identify what we need for a useful first discussion.
Outcome
An initial project direction; you do not need a finished design.

Stage 02 / 05

Agree the scope and budget direction

Find a realistic route before detailed design.

  • Start by email, phone, video call or a workshop appointment; site visits depend on the project.
Outcome
A clearer brief and a suitable route for the next stage.

Stage 03 / 05

Develop and approve the design

Resolve the decisions that shape your furniture.

Stage 05 / 05

Deliver, install and complete

Prepare the site around the agreed supply route.

Completed project — The Cawthorne kitchen, fitted in its home after design and workshop production.
Your part
  • Confirm access, delivery arrangements and site readiness.
  • For supply only, your appointed fitter confirms final site dimensions and drawing adjustments before production.
Our part
  • For an agreed supply-and-installation scope, we arrange survey and measurement confirmation and take responsibility for the agreed fitting, carried out by subcontractors.
Outcome
Delivery and completion follow the agreed scope, with any outstanding adjustments discussed at handover.

Choose the right supply arrangement

Supply only

We manufacture and deliver the furniture. Your fitter confirms final site dimensions and any drawing adjustments before production.

Agree who receives, unloads, stores and installs the furniture. We can coordinate practical installation information where required.

Supply with installation

JS DECO arranges survey and measurement confirmation and takes responsibility for the agreed installation, delivered by subcontractors.

Installation availability depends on location, site conditions and scheduling. It is normally priced separately because access and the amount of site work vary.

Questions before you begin

Do I need a finished design?

No. Room photos, approximate dimensions, inspiration images and a short description are enough to start. Existing architect drawings or designer plans are welcome too.

What happens before the 10% design deposit?

We review the direction, likely scope, priorities and budget. Detailed design starts once the direction is agreed and the 10% design deposit is paid.

What does the design stage cover?

Layout development, materials and finishes, storage planning, technical decisions, revisions and preparation towards a production-ready specification. The applicable scope and payment terms should be clear before you proceed.

How long will my project take?

Timing depends on complexity, design decisions, material availability, workshop scheduling and site readiness. Tell us your target date early; the programme is agreed for your project.

Why discuss budget early?

It helps us recommend appropriate materials, hardware, finishes and an installation route, avoiding detailed design work on options that do not fit your budget.

Can you work with my architect, designer or fitter?

Yes. We can review plans, elevations, schedules, sketches and visual references. Agree who provides measurements, approves changes and coordinates the project. Working with architects and interior designers →

Can you work from an inspiration photograph?

Yes. It helps communicate style, proportions and materials. We develop the furniture around your space and practical needs rather than simply copying an image.

Do you only make kitchens?

No. We also make wardrobes, bedrooms, alcove furniture, utility rooms, home offices and other fitted furniture. The process is adapted to the room and scope.
