A 110 m² apartment delivered turnkey to clients living abroad
Clients based overseas, an apartment in Casablanca, and only one possible visit during the year. This kind of project rests entirely on the quality of the decision-making and monitoring protocol.
Study project: this case describes a typical commission handled by the practice and the trade-offs it involves. The visuals are computer-generated images produced by the studio, not photographs of a completed site.
Making decisions from a distance
Everything rests on one rule: nothing is ordered without written approval recorded in a single, continuously updated document. Dimensioned drawings, material boards photographed in natural light, samples shipped out when the material really matters, and a weekly video call.
The clients never set foot on site, but they always see exactly the same information I do.
Photographing what is about to be hidden
Every week, a photo report documents progress and, systematically, the state of the services before the partitions are closed up. It is a technical safeguard as much as a tool for building trust.
Snagging items are recorded in the same way, with a dated tracking table for their resolution.
Delivering a home, not a tidy building site
Turnkey means the client walks in with nothing but a suitcase: furniture assembled, light fittings installed, curtains hung, bedding and tableware ready if requested. That means managing import and manufacturing lead times well in advance, sometimes three months before the works are due to finish.
A handover held two days before the client arrives leaves no margin at all: the schedule is built backwards, from the move-in date.
What this format delivers
For a non-resident owner, this format removes the most expensive part of renovating from a distance: the back-and-forth trips, the misunderstandings and the rework. In exchange, it demands strict documentary discipline.
The contact form lets you indicate that you live abroad: describe your project.
