THE FOS DESIGN INTENSIVE EXPERIENCE
Three hours. Your project. Complete clarity.
Renovating or building comes with hundreds of decisions, and getting even one of them wrong can cost you time, money and compromise the final result. You may not need a full-service interior designer. But that doesn't mean you should have to navigate your project alone.
The FOS Design Intensive Experience gives you direct access to over 15 years of professional design and construction experience in one focused, high-impact consultation dedicated entirely to your project.
No drawn-out design process. No full-service design fees. No generic advice.
Just expert guidance, professional insight and a clear direction forward.

Complete with schedules, checklists and project templates, this handbook helps you communicate clearly with your builder, suppliers and design team while keeping every decision organised, consistent and easy to manage.
We understand you have some questions before making your investment. See below common FAQ's
What happens during the Design Intensive?
Over three hours, we'll work through your project together, reviewing your plans, discussing your ideas, answering your questions and providing professional advice tailored specifically to your project. Every session is customised to your individual needs.
Do I need to have plans before booking?
No. Whether you're at the planning stage or already under construction, the Design Intensive can be tailored to wherever you are in your project.
What if I haven't made any selections yet?
That's completely fine. Many clients book before making any decisions so they can move forward with greater confidence and avoid costly mistakes.
Can we visit suppliers during the session?
Yes. Depending on your priorities and location, your session may include visiting showrooms or suppliers if this is the best use of our time together. Otherwise, you can book the 'Designer For A Day' service separately where we can focus specifically on that aspect of your project (if you don't want to spend Design Intensive time doing that) - totally up to you.
Can my partner, builder or architect attend?
Absolutely. Anyone involved in the decision-making process is welcome to attend the session, as this often leads to clearer communication and better project outcomes.
Will you provide a design after the session?
The Design Intensive is a consultancy service rather than a traditional full-service design package. You'll receive expert guidance, sketches where applicable, recommendations, a roadmap and professional advice during the session, empowering you to confidently move forward with your project.
Can I continue working with FOS after the Design Intensive?
Yes. Many clients choose to continue through ongoing consultancy, where we can provide support as your project evolves - from refining selections and reviewing details to supplier guidance and accessing our trusted network of industry professionals.
Is this suitable for renovations and new builds?
Yes. The Design Intensive is suitable for renovations, extensions, new homes, apartments and selected commercial projects.
Will I have access to trade suppliers and discounts?
Where appropriate, clients may benefit from access to FOS Collective's trusted supplier network and selected trade pricing. Access and discount levels vary between suppliers and are considered on a project-by-project basis.
What if we don't get through everything?
The session is structured around your highest priorities to ensure the most important decisions are addressed first. If additional assistance is required, ongoing consultancy can be arranged to continue supporting your project.
Is the Design Intensive worth it?
The value of the Design Intensive isn't measured by the three hours we spend together - it's measured by the confidence, clarity and costly mistakes you avoid throughout the life of your project as well as the 15 years of insider knowledge carefully curated in your resource library. One well-informed decision can save thousands of dollars, countless hours and months of unnecessary stress, making this an investment in the success of your entire renovation or build.
What happens after I purchase the Design Intensive?
Once you've purchased your Design Intensive, you'll receive a welcome email with access to your Client Intake Form and the exclusive FOS Resource Library. Once your intake form has been completed and reviewed, we'll be in touch with your booking link so you can select a suitable date for your session. Before we meet, we'll review your project information and any plans or documentation you've provided, ensuring your three hours are focused, personalised and used where they'll have the greatest impact.
