Architectural, MEP, and Structural Engineering Consultants

We consistently work with architectural and engineering consultants
to manage the completion of your project.

Commercial Design Process

By creating a team partnership with yourself and our design team, we can best focus on your unique requirements and specific needs. We start by asking questions. We listen carefully to you. We strive to develop the vision for the space. We utilize our creative talents and ideas to offer long-term solutions for your project. We determine the solutions while keeping you involved and informed. Dedicated to satisfying our clients in the long term, our project management style utilizes hands-on coordination and participation in creating the design experience.

Office design is more than a desk, a file, a cubicle. Each of us works. The environment we work in can be supportive of our success or detract from it. Our goal is to create a work environment that supports the goals of your company and nurtures you and your staff. A supportive work environment fosters growth and achievement.

Space planning and design will affect learning, productivity, creativity, employee morale, company branding, and performance. We specialize in putting the puzzle pieces together to help your company grow.

First, we will interview you and/or your staff to discern preferences, adjacency benefits, and spatial/storage needs. We conduct a workspace planning analysis. With the analysis, we will determine what elements of your current office layout is working, what isn't, and how can we make it better.

Space plans are prepared with your input and fine-tuned for maximum benefit to you and your staff. Interior design and the development of the "look" of the space is the next step in creating an interior that speaks your message to your clients and helps you grow your business. Next, we select and specify materials, finishes, lighting, and products to complete the interior. Lastly, we offer implementation services and project coordination to ensure the design is executed.

Emphasizing the creation of the total environment through lighting, color, texture, furniture, and fabric, we offer coordination from start to finish.

Whether you are considering expanding or remodeling your existing space or moving into an entirely new space, we help you manage the many tasks required to make your project a success. We engage our highly qualified network of trained professionals to assist in completing the project.

Commercial Design Process

This is a basic outline of how a typical project might go from beginning to end and what services are usually included.

Preliminary Project Meeting

We meet with you to discuss your project so that we can get an understanding of your wants and needs, evaluate if your project is feasible and prepare a proposal agreement outlining our services and fees.

Project Administration

Project Coordination Services

We are not a contractor and we do not perform contractor duties. We leave that to professionals so that we can focus on the design of your project. However, if you would like a us to coordinate the details of the project, we do partner with several very reputable contractors to perform this type of project. If you already have a contractor selected, we can work with you and your contractor to complete your space. This is a great option to help you manage the many details and decisions that arise during the implementation process.

Architectural, MEP and Structural Engineering Consultants

Sustainable Design

Our unique mission and focus is to create environments that are healthy for you and the environment. Any project—residential or commercial—can be sustainable or "green." Beyond our standard design process, sustainable projects receive special attention during the planning and selection process to ensure materials selected and systems designed and utilized are sustainable.

For projects that would like to achieve LEED certification, the process begins before the design has begun. We have successfully completed several LEED projects and have achieved LEED certification, including Gold and Silver. We have actively participated in the project registration and certification process with IUSGBC. Please discuss your sustainability goals with us, so we may help you accomplish them.

As a LEED-accredited professional, we support the initiatives of the US Green Building Council and strive to use the principles of sustainability.

We retained IPD for the space planning, interior design and project coordination of our office remodeling in Wheaton, IL and are extremely pleased. They worked with us to create an attractive and efficient environment for our employees while maintaining a functioning work environment for our on-going operations. The onsite coordination provided by IPD, as well as the attention to detail and their exceptional working relationship with the contractors was an integral factor in the success of our project.

Sandra F., DVM

Springbrook Animal Care Center, Naperville Animal Hospital, Naperville, IL

My partner and I worked closely with Interior Planning & design, Inc, to make product selections and appreciated the detailed product knowledge and project coordination they provided. Once we made our selections, IPD coordinated directly with the building management and the contractor, which allowed us to focus on our legal work. As promised, IPD completed our project on time and we are delighted with the results.

Joseph P.

CEO, Law Group, LLC

The result of our collaboration with IPD is an attractive, professional environment for our firm. Most remarkably, thanks to IPD, it was achieved while allowing us to maintain operation and service our clients during the process without interruption. The beautiful and comfortable work environment is appreciated by both the firm and our clients.
