FAQs

• What will you receive as a result of our services?

  Our services are divided into single and full.

  The single service is based on answering three main questions before building:

  -How can I arrange my space requirements within architecture?
  -How does it look like?
  -How much does it cost?

  The deliverables of this stage are: a set of executive plans, a catalog of fixed accessories (lamps and taps), a general construction budget and renderings.

  The full service is based on designing and guiding the construction. The deliverable is an “as built” set of drawings within a maintenance manual of the building. During this time, we stay in constant communication between the construction team, design and client.

• Is it possible to have an estimate of the total investment of my project before starting?

  On our first meeting, we note your needs and make a working proposal that considers the desired scope of the project, times and cost. In this way, before starting design you can have an estimated amount of the whole investment.
  This proposal takes approximately three days to generate. In case you have questions, you can write to us at hola@fmtestudio.mx and we will gladly schedule a meeting.

• How long will you wait to see your project built?

  This process varies greatly, depending on the type of assignment.
  A project has different stages of development that need to be considered in order to have an organized and controlled process. These are:

  1. design
  2. budget discussion
  3. permits
  4. construction

  In average, the whole process before you occupy the building takes up to 10 months.

  It is possible to reduce the aforementioned times, however, extraordinary measures would be required in the process.

• How do we relate with our clients?

  We design, communicate and collaborate with you; considering and integrating each design discussion, in order to ensure that the original intention of the project remains clear in each iteration.

• Why work with fmt.?

  We consider that architecture and interior design are intertwined, so we think in terms of both professions when projecting: Our goal is to create a customized space which you can appropriate as if you had always lived there.
  Formal simplicity, contact with nature and the playful quality of the spaces guide our design proposals.

• How many projects do we work at the same time?

  Our commitment is to personally attend each project, responding to your needs. That’s why we focus on not having more than 6 projects at a time.

• What do we need to start working on your project?

  The procedure is very simple. We just need to have a short interview, preferably on the site to intervene, and a simple drawing or sketch of the area to work. With these two elements we can prepare a work proposal in an average of 3 days.
