0. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
0.1. Purpose
Zuri Interiors was founded and established in the year 2017 in Nairobi Kenya; a brand that sought
to bridge the gap in the interior design industry in Kenya. After conducting a thorough market
research, the team was able to locate specific target areas that were not well satisfied by the
existing firms in the industry and thus, Zuri Interiors could base their niche on those very
principles. The industry was lacking in that the designs most firms offered would not be executed
in good time, causing friction between the clients and the service providers, an inability to meet
the quality demands of the customers and spaces were created that did not satisfy the long-term
practical needs of the living and working environments of the clients.
As a result, our firm’s foundational pillars are based on an alliteration of three T’s: Taste, Time
and Tangibility.
0.2. Summary
The vision for Zuri Interiors is to stand out in the industry as a firm that is not only reliable and
exquisite, but also as one that exceeds the expectations of our clients. The core activities of our
firm include consultancy, design and bridging the gap between the client and the contractors, thus
enhancing the convenience of all remodeling and renovations processes, as well as the minor
adjustments that clients would like to make of their spaces.
Through the aforementioned set of activities, Zuri Interiors personnel can foster constructive
relationships with the clients, by use of open and consistent communication and working side by
side with the clients at each stage of the renovation process. This is a proficient tool for quality
control and assurance, as the client is able to communicate their reservations and potential change
of opinions before the job is complete; this is good for damage control and results in a significant
reduction of repairing costs.
Additionally, at Zuri we employ the use of technology which grants our clients 3D vision of their
mission before making a final decision. The design software used can put together the layout of
the proposed design and thus before placing a heavy investment in the renovation, the client is
very clear on the layout and the outcome that will ensue.

0.3. Conclusion
By the end of the project, all parties involved should be satisfied with its undertaking and
outcome. Contractors will be paid in the due time with the help of a clear credit period and the
client’s payment plan. The client’s dream space would have been actualized within the agreed
timeframe and with exceptional quality having merged the client’s taste and the designer’s
expertise. Lastly, the reputation of Zuri Interiors will be upheld, gradually increasing clientele
base and subsequently, our market share in the industry. More so, the essential demand for
satisfactory function, appealing aesthetic and precision in style should be achieved.

1.0. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of Project
Our clients are newlyweds who purchased and settled into their home in mid-2018. With the
onset of the pandemic, they discovered that there is a need to reevaluate and reorganize their
home in a way that fosters living and working comfort for them both, especially with the
likelihood of prolonged remote work. While that serves their present need, they are consulting
our experts to help them make informed decisions of the complimentary additions to their home
that will outlive the passing trends and withstand the test of time.
As the name suggests, ‘Zuri Interiors’ is an interior design company whose aim is to transform
living spaces and corporate workstations into pleasant, fresh and welcoming rooms to dwell in.
Our vision is to be a reputable, desirable and sustainable interior design firm in Kenya, and
within the global arena and our mission is to create spaces that are experiences; yielding a body
of satisfied clients that testify to the calm, sophistication of the style of our skillful design.
The statement of our project scope is to transform a single bedroom apartment (30 x 24 = 720
square feet) which consists of a living room, kitchen, pantry, washroom, bedroom and storage
frames – ton be completed within 2 months, one of those months being preparation heavy and the
other focused on the operations. Their preferred interior style is a predominant Scandinavian feel
with a touch of modern aesthetic, with a keen interest to create an illusion of spaciousness and
allow room for plenty of natural lighting. By the end of the project, we hope to have increased the
client’s comfort, safety and efficiency in the house.
While the renovation will be ongoing, the clients will not be living within the premises due to the
speed at which the work will be undertaken, the size of the space of the home as well as to avoid
the potential health hazards that may come about whilst living in a construction site.

Diagram for the general structure of the project.
We create different types of modern interior design styles which include but are not limited to:
1. Mid-Century, a modern home fashion which lends itself to a clean, organized lifestyle.
2. Eclectic design, a mix of trends, time periods, colors, patterns, and textures all into one
space.
7
3. Modern Industrial which focuses on the character of a space rather than the look of the
furniture.
4. Transitional design, which borrows elements from both traditional and modern design to
create a middle ground of style and comfort. This interior design style is all about creating
a sense of balance between heavy, ornate pieces and sleek, modern pieces.
5. Modern Farmhouse, which we use to blend a cozy farmhouse feel with the clean lines of
contemporary design. This look gives the look and feel of a cozy country home without
kitschy patterns and decor. It is most ideal to a slower-paced lifestyle that is focused on
being with family and friends.
6. Scandinavian style interiors, which focuses on minimalism and functionality; a blend of
white and pastel color palette that is reminiscent of nature and a furniture selection that is
simple, or gently adorned with clear lines.
This home renovation project is set to first, intricately pan out its plan, layout and design and
ensure that each of the procedures are actualized in the allocated timeframe. All the resources
required for the reconstructions shall be supplied by a trusted outsourced contractor that shall be
settled on after reviewing the implementation bids as well as the quotations given by to other
construction agencies. The quotations given by the vying contractors should outline in detail the
costs associated with equipment, labor and other necessary material required to complete the task.
Our clients will be walked through the options that shall come up so enable them to make an
informed decision as they settle with their preferred budget offer.
The key activities that shall be undertaken in the course of this process are some necessary
demolitions, mechanical and electrical installations, painting, flooring, cabinetry, plumbing and
the installation of furniture and other additional ornaments for the enhancement of aesthetic.

Project risk management is the process of identifying, analyzing and responding to any risk that
arises over the life cycle of a project to help the project remain on track and meet its goal. A risk
13
is anything that could potentially impact your project’s timeline, performance or budget. Risks
are potentialities. A risk is any event that could prevent the project from progressing as planned,
or from successful completion. The ones in our renovation project are identified below
14

Zuri interior has opted to raise money for the house renovation though a bank loan. The
house renovation will be founded by a loan from the family bank which offers Construction
unsecured loan for residential housing and offered the best rates compared to other banks. Zuri
interior is to get a loan of Kes 1.3 Million, refundable in five years with an annual interest rate of
12%. At this rate the monthly repayment amount will be Kes 28,918 with a total repayment
15
amount of Kes 1,735,067. Since the loan is unsecured, we don’t have to use the house as
collateral to qualify for such a loan and the money borrowed will be deposited directly into Zuri
interior’s bank account.
This is where Zuri Interiors realize their design concept and make it come to reality on time and
within the budget. Zuri Interiors implements its vision of standing out in the industry as a firm
that is not only reliable and exquisite, but also as one that exceeds the expectations of our clients
based on the harmonious composition dependent on the style of choice developed to meet
modern requirements. We use project implementation tasks schedule to work through the
implementation process and this tasks includes the following:
The Zuri interior design’s team works together to bring out desirable results. With the help of our
project manager we work together and make realistic decisions that will bring out impressive
results to clients’ satisfaction. We prefer a design of space, elegance and blending color range.
Our administrative personnel with help of the resource manager, will ensure that the resources to
be purchased are of good quality which will give us quality outcome, matching to the stated
requirements.
After finding the appropriate resources to purchase, our financial manager will negotiate for the
materials on behalf of the client while the logistics and co-ordination personnel ensure a prompt,
successful delivery.
The resource manager with the help of the design manager then decides how available materials
will be used accordingly.
16
5. Managing project quality requirements
6. Resolving conflict or differences among the project team and other stakeholders
To avoid or resolve conflict, the project manager seeks to accommodate and consider ideas from
the team. We advance each other’s weak ideas into a wholesome thought.
The project manager works as a frontline person toward the project’s goal, and thus will control
and monitor the project as it continues and demand for quality results from the team.
Active communication with the clients is of necessity, in order to combat any potential issues at
the onset of the discovery. This way, immediate action can be taken.
All of the above will be made possible after work stages are over. This is known as executing
already planned guides. We therefore put together our guide into 9 interior design work stages
which are:
1. Practicability as an initial stage of the project with invents like studies of the site or property.
We also find out more about you and your design ambitions for the project along with your times
given and the budgets. This makes working with you to build your design preferences easy.
2. Idealizing stage is the beginning of the creative process. Our architecture develops layouts for
your property to investigate finishes, decide design styles and the way will blend and influence
the whole design.
17
3. Design development, in this stage we get into the details of the scheme. We will
summarize the internal layouts and specify key finishes and materials for the floors, walls,
furniture all together we also define the lighting concepts.
4. Technical design stage, here we prepare a fully-detailed, technical construction pack for the
project, including all the proposed new details for the build.
5. Production stage, here we develop fully detailed finishes schedules and specifications for
every area in the property, designing out joinery, sanitary and electrical requirements for the
Tender process.
6. Tender stage We work together as your design team on advising you the best form of contract
and later develop the construction program.
7. Mobilization of resources, we will undertake workshops and review the design proposals with
assisting them in mobilizing resources as required.
8. Construction stage, we will work closely with the contractors and supply chain to achieve the
successful implementation of our design.
9. Implementation conclusion; as the project concludes we visit the site to inspect all the
works and assist the project manager on preparing and issuing the practical completion certificate
as the implementation process ends.

replacement costs moving forward. Below are the factors to consider in a sustainable house
renovation.
Financial sustainability describes the ability of the project to survive financially. Sustainable
renovation offers a number of economic or financial benefits, which are relevant to a range of
different people or groups of people. These include cost savings on utility bills for tenants or
households (through energy and water efficiency); lower construction costs and higher property
value for building developers; increased occupancy rates or operating costs for building owners;
and job creation. Sustainable renovation is sometimes criticized for using expensive materials,
but green buildings are often considered more valuable than traditional ones.
For the project to fit within the budget the project team has to identify what they can salvage and
re-use beforehand. Not only is this eco-friendly, but it will save money in the end. In addition to
that, they should recycle material that you cannot use. Ensure your builders separate and
recycle all waste coming from the renovation including masonry, concrete, wood and metals.
Re-facing instead of replacing is very important for a project to survive financially. Find ways to
salvage what is already yours to help your budget remain conservative does not only save money
but also time and energy.
6.2. Environmental
One of the most important benefits sustainable renovation offers is to our climate and the natural
environment. It does not only reduce or eliminate negative impacts on the environment, by using
less water, energy or natural resources, but it positively impacts the environment by consuming
less energy and increasing biodiversity.
To ensure environmental sustainability, the project team should select building materials with
the least environmental impact. Furthermore, when purchasing new appliances, the project team
should look for those that are the most energy efficient. The team should also repurpose items
and materials to prevent unnecessary purchases for the home upgrades. Saving natural resources
and reducing the emissions from the manufacturing and transportation of these materials does the
environment a huge favor. Many green products and materials are also more durable and
19
effective compared to non-sustainable products. Before remodeling the home, the project team
should think strategically about what to deconstruct instead of demolishing, and what items to
keep. Demolition has an immense impact on the environment due to material waste. Thinking
sustainably ahead of time can save you money by minimizing your long list of materials to buy
and reduce waste.
6.3. Social
Sustainable renovation goes beyond economics and the environment, and have been shown to
bring positive social impacts too. Many of these benefits are around the health and wellbeing of
people who work or live in sustainably built houses. The project team should focus on renovating
a house which are not only good for the environment, but also support healthier, happier and
more productive lives. The project team should take into consideration the concrete difficulties of
living such as; lack of storage space, noise, lack of protection against heat and wind, etc.
Project monitoring is a continuous process of tracking project progress against planned activities.
It focuses on short term activities and results and provides feedback to stakeholders for ongoing
learning.
The plan provides guidance on how project design, monitoring and evaluation can better
incorporate the single house renovation project.
7.1. Purpose of the plan
Our clients are newlyweds who discovered that there is a need to reevaluate and reorganize their
home in a way that fosters living and working comfort for them both. While that serves their
present need, they are consulting our experts to help them make informed decisions of the
complimentary additions to their home that will outlive the passing trends and withstand the test
of time.
