2.2.1 Senior Interior Architect. The design for projects is created by senior interior
architects. Their duties may also include visiting project sites to ensure success
and completion, designing and modifying blueprints, and examining
specifications. Although they share some duties with interior designers, interior
architects follow a very different career path and are responsible for the
functionality, safety, and aesthetic of the building. This requires a great deal of
expertise and careful thought throughout the design process. To perform these
duties, interior architects need specialized training, which is typically acquired
through earning degrees and industry-specific certifications.
2.2.3. Design Research Director. The creation of user experiences for a variety of
applications is supported by the design researcher. To assist in the creation of
user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes, he or she researches important market
trends as well as the user experience strategies of competitors. In order to make
sure that design work is based on organizational standards and protocols, he or
she collaborates with the Service Design and Experience Design teams.
Additionally, he or she gathers information to evaluate the effectiveness of user
interfaces and takes part in networking activities to broaden their knowledge of
the design industry

of projects and plans as part of your duties as an interior design director. They
also provide clarification or make final decisions regarding furniture selections,
finishes, room arrangements, and other design ideas. Other responsibilities
include leading a project's conceptual stage and monitoring the outcomes through
coaching and mentoring. Leading design projects and teams are senior interior
designers or executive directors of interior design. Their duties might include
developing a project's technical components or managing project presentations
and budget analysis.
2.2.6. Technical Designer. A technical designer collaborates with the design team,
manufacturers, and vendors to create products from creative ideas. Their primary
responsibilities may include reviewing design work, working with the
manufacturer to develop a plan, and ensuring that the finished product meets
quality standards. To ensure project success, a Technical Designer will create
technical documentation and communicate project progress to team members.
Experience in construction documentation, proficiency in Revit, and a desire to
work with a team of architects in a highly creative, collaborative environment are

specialize in a specific aspect of finance, such as financial reporting or cash
management.

SERVICES
The company's location and facilities, as well as the hardware and software used
in business operations, are covered in this section of the business plan. To broaden its
scope of interest even further, it offers descriptions of the company's services.
3.1 Company Location
Nitibo Design Studios is situated near SM Uptown, which is situated near SM Uptown
and is surrounded by numerous shopping centers, coffee shops, and other establishments in the
Magnolia Street Xavier Subdivision of Cagayan de Oro City. The firm was situated adjacent to the
main highway, which makes it accessible and easy to spot. Since it’s on the main road,
transporting local products from downtown CDO and Bukidnon flows easily, which
potentially lessens time and cost constraints. Aside from these, nearby prominent locations like SM
Uptown are nearby. The locations were picked strategically since most businessmen and
businesswomen in the entire city live in the Uptown District. With that, the company's location
will be advantageous to attract more customers in the future, and it’s also an area that has a lot
of residential units, such as subdivisions and apartments, that would be our potential target
market.

3.1.1 Strategic Planning Phase. This stage only involves the client team. Strategically, the
main objective of stage 1 in the process is to confirm that a project, or some other method,
is the most effective way to meet the client's requirements. Simply, it contains information
about the client(s), the project's nature (primary residence, vacation home, office, etc.), its
location, the function of the space, and the scope of the design work. To develop the
client requirements and business case that will achieve these, the client team may consult
with a wide range of professional advisers.
3.1.2 Preparation and Briefing. The goal of this stage is to create the data that the design
team will require to start the design process at Stage 2. To uncover the full range of
briefing considerations and show that the place can accommodate the spatial
requirements, feasibility studies may be necessary.
The first step in the research process is to identify each user, from the primary
occupants to visitors and friends. In a residential design, a profile for each of the main
occupants may be created, detailing details such as their age and sex, hobbies, habits,
need for privacy, preferred styles and colors, and an inventory of belongings and
furnishings that must fit in the redesigned space. This phase entails client and other end-
user interviews, surveys, inventories, and more extensive research. Finding out the project's
goals, needs, viability, scope, and restrictions (whether regulatory or financial) is crucial.
'Bubble diagrams' can be used to sketch out spatial relationships, traffic flow patterns,
and activity and spatial adjacencies. Depending on the requirements of the client and the
project, different skills will be needed.

3.1.3 Concept Design Phase. Following approval of the design program, the concept
development phase starts. This stage can be divided into two stages:
a) Ideation stage
b) Concept Statement with Schematics
Concept development phase starts following approval of the Design Program
Document. The initial "ideation" stage entails generating design ideas (verbally, visually,
or in writing), weeding out unworkable ones, and then developing the workable ones until
one or more main design concepts are apparent.
The primary ideas and methodology guiding the suggested design solution are
expressed in a written Concept Statement, which serves as the main design concept.
Schematic Drawings, which depict the siting, orientation, space allocations, circulation
patterns, spatial and activity relationships from various perspectives, color schemes, and
other significant details of the proposed design, are included with the Concept Statement.
They are quick sketches and graphic visualizations of these main ideas. By including
proportion and personality, bubble diagrams are made more refined.
The client receives one or more design concepts in the form of a proposal for review,
comment, and approval. The proposal might include:
a) The Design Concept Statement and any accompanying concept drawings, such as
scaled floor plans with furniture placement and mood boards with color, material,
and finish schemes.
b) The proposal may also include additional sketches, perspective drawings, full-color
renderings, 3-D models, or computer simulations, depending on the size of the
project.
c) Estimated project costs, including labor, materials, and a fee for design services. At
this point, project costs can only be estimated because exact costs won't be known
until after contractors, suppliers, and installers receive bids on the final working
drawings.
d) A timeline with the events in their proposed order and conclusion.

3.1.4 Construction Documentation Phase. This phase depends heavily on the lead
designer and the design team. When Stage 4 coordination calls for client decisions, the
client team is involved. If the chosen procurement route necessitates early contractor or
specialized subcontractor inputs, the construction team may also be involved. To ensure
that the engineering and architectural information prepared at Stage 3 is spatially
coordinated before the detailed information needed to manufacture and decorate the space
is produced at Stage 5, Stage 4 primarily focuses on testing and validating the
Architectural Concept.
Iterations of the design may be necessary to ensure that the Cost Plan is in line
with the Project Budget. Design studies should be coordinated with cost exercises and the
development of the outline specification. Product manufacturers and specialized
subcontractors may be consulted to test or validate design elements. Apart from minor
adjustments at interfaces, a spatially coordinated design enables each designer, including
specialized subcontractors, to finalize their information at Stage 4 without needing any
additional significant design iterations.
3.1.5 Manufacturing and Construction Phase. The creation of final working drawings,
also known as "construction drawings,” are finalized in this stage. The design is finished by
the design team and the specialized subcontractors hired by the contractor. In addition to
all drawing notes required for the construction and installation of the design, these may
include perspective drawings, site plans, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (showing lighting
and ceiling fixtures), sections, elevations, and detailed drawings of architectural elements
(such as doors and windows) and design elements (such as paint, trim, wall coverings,
and window treatments).
All furnishings and materials that must be purchased are listed and described in
detail in written specifications, and schedules specify the kind, finishes, and placement of
architectural and design elements. A client monitoring te am may be appointed
under certain procurement
procedures to examine the information generated.
21
3. PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES
At Stage 5, the construction crew assumes center stage. The procurement strategy
and the client's decision regarding how to evaluate construction quality as work progresses
will affect the contributions made by the client team and design team. Each activity's
duration is depicted in a critical path timeframe in a sequential, overlapping order. A part
of the designer's contract with the client is the final design documentation, which includes
the drawings, specifications, schedules, and timetable. All supplies, furniture, and extras
have been ordered.
Delivered goods are examined, and any items that are damaged are fixed, sent
back, or reordered, and marked with the project and placement information. The designer
will conduct routine site visits to oversee development, assess the level of craftsmanship,
and address any problems that may arise. The designer will create a "Snag List" (also known
as a "Punch List") of issues that must be fixed before movable furnishings, materials, and
accessories are installed after construction and installation work is complete.
3.1.6 Handover. The beginning of Stage 6 occurs when the building is turned over to the
client, aftercare is started, and the building contract is completed. In the design process,
the Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a significant last step.
After the project is finished, the designer conducts follow-up work to evaluate the
effectiveness of the design solution. A questionnaire, an interview, or a walk-through
inspection with the client may be used for this. To enhance the result, the designer might
make modifications and revisions. Peer evaluation may also be requested. Repeated
project evaluation is necessary to gauge user satisfaction and advance technical
understanding for upcoming initiatives.

Schematic Design Phase. Several drawings that show the building's design,
interior, and systems make up the schematic design phase. This often contains the
building elevations, floor layout, site plan, and building systems.
Design Development. It's time to create a more coherent plan now that the
customer has approved the initial one. These specifics cover the location of doors and
windows as well as any alterations to the building's shape. The exterior and interior
finishes are then given to the customer, and materials, fixtures, and other finishes are
discussed. There will be back and forth with the customer, frequently driven by
expenses, which will force both parties to make compromises. The exterior, plan, and
size of the building, as well as the majority of the materials, are finalized at this point.

4. MARKET ANALYSIS
Final Consultation. The client and architects meet during this stage to receive
their final approval. Any changes to the proposal that have been made since the initial
consultation must be final in this case. Small adjustments could be permitted but altering
the design entirely at this point is no longer accepted unless the customer is ready to
pay for the costs associated with starting over. As completely as possible at this point,
everything must be settled.
Final Design Phase. The final design phase is when the design is finished and
all necessary approvals, permits, and other certifications are obtained so that the plan, or
project parts that have been staged in accordance with the project management plan,
may go on to implementation.

5. FINANCIAL PLAN AND PROJECTIONS
Nitibo Design Studio start-up cost is estimated at 7 million PHP from the partners and 1
million PHP loan from the bank. The firm’s monthly operation will include direct cost, admin
and operating cost which is estimated total of 1 million PHP and for year 1 it is estimated at 12
million PHP. To keep the firm at operation level for year 1 the sales need to generate 8.2 million
revenue and the return from earnings per share is at 12% and 18% by Year 3 mark.
For the first month of operation the company might discover risk like the pandemics and
natural disaster. When these unprecedent events happen local business and producer’s
shutdown then it will be a hard time to find new producers for a limited time. Then there’s
inflation of products and services so the firm must adjust all the pricing. Lastly there are
competitors with similar products and services offered in the same area, but through flexible
services.
To minimize these risks, there are new ways to bring the services to clients through online
services and consultations if the company cannot have face-to-face meet ups and these can
also attract clients outside the country. For our local producers there are variety of alternate
building materials. Then there’s the increase of local pricing this is an advantage for the firm
to take invest and take projects outside the country.
