How a commission works, step by step

Custom furniture sounds complicated until the process is laid out. Ours has five steps, each with a clear output in your hands, so at no point are you paying for something you have not seen defined.

The process

Five steps, no surprises

From first contact to handover, this is the path every project follows, whether it is one wardrobe or a whole apartment.

Consultation

You tell us about the space, what it needs, and the budget frame. By message, call, or in person: photos and rough dimensions are enough to start a real conversation.

Site measurement

We measure the space ourselves: walls that are not square, floors that are not level, sockets and pipes that matter. Production is based on these numbers, not estimates.

Design and quote

You receive a design proposal and an itemized quote: each piece, material, and mechanism priced separately, so you can adjust the scope instead of guessing at a lump sum.

Production in our workshop

Cutting, edging, assembly, and finishing in our Tirana workshop, by the same team that measured your space. You can visit during production; the workshop is not a secret.

Installation and handover

Delivery and installation by our own team, alignment and adjustment of every front, and a walkthrough with you at the end. The project is finished when you say it is.

What we promise along the way

Prices are agreed before production starts and do not drift mid-project; if you change the scope, the quote is updated in writing before we continue. Timelines are given with the quote and treated as commitments, and if anything threatens them you hear it from us first.

Behind the process are the two people of the workshop: thirty years of woodworking craft and a design engineering background, on every project, at every step. That pairing is described on our about page, and it is the reason the drawn design and the delivered piece match.

Common questions about the process

What does the first consultation cost?

Nothing. The conversation, and the quote that follows it, are free. You commit money only when you approve the design and the itemized quote.

What should I prepare before contacting you?

Rough measurements of the space, a few photos, and if you have them, pictures of furniture you like. A floor plan helps but is not required; we measure properly on site anyway.

Can I change the design after the quote?

Yes, before production starts. Changes update the quote in writing so both sides always look at the same numbers. Once cutting begins, changes become rebuilds, which is why we make the approval step explicit.

Do you work outside Tirana?

Yes, we take projects across Albania. Distance affects the logistics planning, not the quality of what arrives.

What happens if something is wrong at handover?

We fix it. The final walkthrough exists precisely so problems surface while our installers are still in the room, and we stand behind our work after handover as well.
