Comprehensive Hardware Specification: The Joseph Giles Experience
There's so much more to us than our beautiful products. Discover the Joseph Giles experience, making the process of supplying architectural hardware and fittings to high-end residences as easy as possible, all the way from specifying through to installation.
Preliminary Consultation
We begin the project process with a consultation to capture your requirements and to scope out the initial design concepts, potential finishes, timeframes, and budgets. By involving our specialists at an early stage, we can provide the best solution, whether it's supplying our signature products or designing a completely bespoke handle with you.
Our comprehensive analysis of the floor plans and consultations with the full project team ensure we have a thorough understanding of all your requirements. Once the preparatory phase is complete, we can begin working on your full hardware schedule.
If we are brought on as a new supplier to a project which is nearing completion, you can rely on our team to deliver a solution for you, as we are used to working within strict timeframes.
Site Visits and Project Meetings
To ensure the highest level of accuracy and precision, we recommend that a member of our team visits the site before a project order is confirmed. When we are supplying ironmongery for existing doors or windows, a site survey is necessary to ensure the hardware is fully compatible.
A site visit allows us to undertake a final check and finalise the detailed aspects of the project with the stakeholders to ensure everything runs smoothly for you and your client.
Detailed Hardware Schedules
On all our projects, we work to the floor plans provided by the architect, together with detailed door drawings. We provide detailed pictorial hardware schedules which correlate to the original floor plans; every product included on the schedule is checked against the detailed door drawings for compatibility.
This document is invaluable for everyone involved in a project as it ensures that each door and window type is accounted for, is specified with compatible products, and the chosen finishes match throughout.
Doorset Packing
To make the installation process as efficient as possible, we provide project hardware packed and labelled into door sets. This service streamlines the work on-site, as everything needed for each door is boxed together and organised logically for the installer.
We offer deliveries in call-offs, with each box clearly labelled for a specific doors and listing what is included. This packing approach saves time and reduces the risk of products getting lost or damaged on-site.
An Extension of Your Team
We understand the importance of each project and how managing multiple supply partners can be challenging, especially under tight schedules. We are committed to each and every client and are available to assist you throughout any stage of the project, and after completion.
We encourage you to make full use of our hardware expertise and to treat us as an extension of your own team. Whether you have a technical query or need assistance with a specific aspect of the hardware, our team is always on hand to help.
Ultimately, our aim is to simplify the specification and installation of architectural hardware - from the initial design and concept stages, through our meticulous production methods, to thoughtful packaging and delivery.
