    Design Brief:

    The shopping mall is a 260,000 m2 large project, located in a new area of Guangzhou City. Architectural design has been finished and the client is now working on the foundation. There will be two separate buildings, on each side of a road. Each building has five stories. We are looking for interior design firm who has experience in shopping mall design in China. If you do not have such experience, then we can recommend you to partner with one of our local business partners in Shanghai to form an international team for this project.

    If you signed up membership of this site, then we will always have you to be part of the Amasia Designer Team even though it may not be a good fit for your company. This Amasia Team consists of a few design firms who have been supporting our marketing works through monthly payment, and the best fit local business partner of Amasia, normally design firm too.

    As always, if you can not provide an impressive brochure to us, and you are not willing to pay us a monthly fee for our marketing efforts, then do not waste your time to try to get more information out of us. I am sorry to be rude but our time is valuable, we would rather spend time helping the paid members rather than answering your questions unless you can really impress us with your works and China experience.

    As always, your brochure needs to be translated. Pls do not send it to us if it is not translated. Sorry again that I sound rude.

    Design Brief:

    Please take your time for this project and prepare an impressive brochure, as well as explanation as how you are going to supply the high quality furniture. Remember that China makes most of the furniture in the world so the competition is serious. But high quality furniture is also very profitable in this country, more than many of the western countries.

    Shipping from either Europe or North America to China is cheap because most of the containers are empty when they are on the way back to China, yes you know what that means. We heard the custom fee/tax is not that much either, compared to other luxury products. So it’s a good idea to think about shipping them to China, or ship part of the furniture from your city and buy some here in China.

    High quality furniture market is increasing  in China so there is good chance if you and AMASIA can work together for this. If you have any questions, please ask your forwarder first, we are not very clear about how to handle import although we can see there is great potential in this area.

    Chinese buyers do not trust local high quality furniture suppliers anymore, and that’s your chance.

    2011/12/10 in Architectural Fabricator/Contractors, FAQ

    First of all, all your marketing materials need to be translated into Chinese; click FAQ above to find out how much we charge for translation services.

    Second, I would like to see a standard contract that you use for overseas projects, which will need to be translated also before I introduce you to a potential clients;

    Third, give me some examples of the fee you charged for projects which might be interesting to our potential clients. Most likely some very high end private clubhouse would want to use your service, or some top brands’ shops like LV which you did, or boutique hotel…provide more information as much as you can in these categories;
    Four, you will need to partner with some local design firms or fabricators to lower your cost and make the communication more efficient. Prepare a seperate document specifying your requirement and expectations to them.

    Local CAD team, construction drawings, MEP/structural consultants, local renders and local supporting designer

    2011/12/01 in Architecture design, FAQ, Interior design, Landscape Architecture, Our Services, Planning

    Typically we would suggest the use of a local CAD team or local designer for helping with all the CAD works and computer generated renderings before the Construction Documentation phase:

    1. They are comparatively cheap and fast, and they use the metric system and know the local codes.
    2. They speak Chinese and understand the client’s expectation and comments; no translation is required.
    3. Because the the time difference, They are working during your nighttime and can send their work to you for review before you get to the office.
    4. They can review your conceptual design/plans before you present to the client; they can make sure your plans meet the local codes and the client’s expectations.
    5. Hiring a LDI from the beginning will significantly avoid the problems of cultural communication breakdowns between designer and client.
    6. Chinese clients do not feel comfortable paying for revisions, but the local CAD person does not ask for compensation.
    7. You may pay Amasia to pass the money or pay the LDI directly.
    8. Amasia has connections with many local design firms who are keen on working in an international team to learn.   Most of them are very experienced. You will be able to focus on reviewing their drawings and telling them how to revise.  No need to worry about hourly charges because in China LDIs revise until approved.
    9. They normally start to work with our interior designer /architect when conceptual design is approved.

    MEP/Structural consultants/contractors are always hired by the client directly. All our local supporting forces are just for design.

    Standard Fees for International Designer’s Local Supporting Force

    1. A local interior designer / landscape architect / CAD professional’s fee would be around $15 / hour.
    2. We charge $800 for an interior design rendering.
    3. We charge $1200 for an architectural design rendering.

    Looking for interior designer for an urban city hotel project in Tianjin City, China

    2011/11/24 in Hotel & Resort, Interior design, Jobs

    The client has been looking for architect for the urban hotel, and it’s about time for them to make a decision. After that they will start to look for operator and interior designer, as well as landscape architect. So we do not have much information of the project as there is no program at the moment. It takes a long time to sign a contract with an international design firm so they have to look now.

    But it is the right time to start to prepare for this project. For most international designers who have never worked in China, it takes quite a long time to be prepared. When your marketing material is ready, the client will start to select interior design firm. Then the timing will be perfect.

    Pls share your portfolio, which needs to be translated, through Dropbox, with the account of interior[at]amasia-group.com and yu[at]amasia-group.com.

    Thank you.

    What kind of visuals would you or the client be expecting from us during the different phases, especially in the first phase of ‘initial payment’?

    2011/11/20 in FAQ, Interior design

    We always expect computer generated renderings.

    If at the beginning of conceptual design phase, you would rather use Gray-white 3D models to illustrate space planning and interior architecture concepts, that’s fine, just add some inspiring images boards to help us to understand your concept.

    We do not want to see just some image boards/mood boards during conceptual design presentation. Those deliverables need professional to understand. Some clients will not approve those. So yes, at least some 3D models with just gray and white color during the concept phase.

    Who picks the designer for a hotel, the owner/developer or the operator?

    2011/11/20 in Architecture design, FAQ, Hotel & Resort, Interior design, SPA

    In China, the owner is almost the only decision maker for this. No developers/clients would know that in other countries the operator has a big influence. NO, they would never let the operator choose the designer. If the operator dislikes the architect/designer, then they just have to deal with it.

    As a hospitality interior designer, how do I quote if there is no operator’s area program?

    2011/11/20 in FAQ, Hotel & Resort, Interior design

    China’s developers are inexperienced in developing luxury hotels. Most of them do not know they need to hire an operator/consultant first, then hire an interior designer. They think they can wait to hire an operator when the hotel is built.

    So in many cases, an international architect has to suggest an area program himself and then discuss that with the client, without the involvement of an operator. Because the client might be still selecting an operator when the architect has already finished his conceptual design.

    So it is likely the architectural design has finished its Schematic Design, without an operator. The interior designer just needs to deal with an awkward situation like this. Because the architect has already been involved, so they should be able to make the work easier for the interior designer. We’ll see…and decide what to do.

    Is there any additional documentation except for brochure that you need from us at this beginning stage, in order to increase the chances of the client appointing us for the project?

    2011/11/20 in FAQ, Interior design

    The most important document is the brochure, other than your website. There are some other documentation that you can prepare in advance:

    1. CERTIFICATE OF COMPANY INCORPORATION; It will not only let the client know that you are a legal design firm, it will also be needed later on when a contract is to be signed, and when the client pays tax in China;
    2. Any certificate shows that you are authorized to buy furniture and sell furniture, if you are a decorator.

    Can Amasia do sketch up models or work in Revit?

    2011/10/19 in Architecture design, FAQ, Our Services

    Yes for Sketch Up models that’s easy. Revit is a little difficult but we know it’s trend and we can find the team for you, it will take some time though but we like the idea of designing using Revit.
    We can use ChiefArchitect for residential projects, houses only. Interior Design use only.

    What information should I introduce to Chinese client, in my website or brochure if I am a painter

    2011/07/20 in FAQ, Interior design

    This blog is only for a decoration painter who wants to expand his/herr business in China and work with decorators in China for very high end projects. Currently there are very few demand for this kind of service but I was contacted on Linkedin by an artist and wrote this blog to help him. It may be a good reference if you are a designer and want to expand your business here too.

    In your brochure or website, pls provide us the following information so that we know if it’s necessary to contact you. Because most of Chinese would consider it’s too costly to hire an international decorator painter to do this job, so the goal of your information should be convincing the potential clients that actually your service is affordable for them. So keep a mind on that.

    1. How much do you normally charge for a a residential project, say a living room, or whatever you think your service will be required;
    2. What typical sizes are your works?
    3. How lond do you normally spend for different projects?
    4. What payment schedule do you normally include in your proposal?
    5. What requirements do you have for airfare? Can you use economic tickets to fly to China?
    6. What are your most well known projects?
    7. Have you won any award for your works?
    8. Have you published any works on magzines?
    9. How long have you been doing this?
    10. Who are the most important clients /decorators you worked with?
    11. How much do you know about working in China? The difference…
    12. How old are you? Are you young and flexible enough to adapt yourself to China?
