THE PROCESS

1. Initial Inquiry and Introduction:

   • The process typically begins with an initial inquiry from the client. This could be through a website, email, or a phone call.
   • We introduce our capability and expertise in van conversions to establish a friendly and open line of communication.
     
     

2. Client Questionnaire:

   • Send the client a detailed questionnaire to gather basic information about their lifestyle, travel preferences, and specific requirements for the van conversion.
   • Questions may include the number of travelers, preferred amenities, budget constraints, and any special considerations like pet accommodation or specific storage needs.
     
     

3. Initial Consultation Meeting:

   • Schedule an initial consultation meeting, either in person, over the phone, or through video conferencing.
   • During this meeting, establish rapport, discuss the client's responses to the questionnaire, and delve deeper into their vision for van life.
     
     

4. Site Visit (if possible):

   • If feasible, conduct a site visit to assess the client's current van or help them choose a suitable base vehicle for conversion.
   • Evaluate the available space, take measurements, and discuss potential design options based on the van's layout.
     
     

5. Concept Presentation:

   • Develop preliminary design concepts based on the gathered information and present these to the client.
   • Utilize visual aids, such as sketches or 3D renderings, to help the client visualize the proposed van layout and features.
     
     

6. Detailed Design Collaboration:

   • Once the client approves a concept, collaborate on refining the details of the design. Discuss materials, colors, finishes, and specific features.
   • Consider aspects like insulation, lighting, ventilation, sleeping arrangements, kitchen facilities, and bathroom options if desired.
     
     

7. Budget Discussion:

   • Provide the client with a detailed estimate of costs associated with the proposed design.
   • Discuss any potential budget constraints and explore alternative options that align with the client's financial parameters.
     
     

8. Design Iterations:

   • Iterate the design based on client feedback until a final design is agreed upon. This may involve multiple rounds of revisions and adjustments.
     
     

9. Contract and Timeline:

   • Draft a comprehensive contract outlining the scope of work, deliverables, payment schedule, and project timeline.
   • Ensure that both parties have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions.
     
     

10. Construction and Updates:

    • Keep the client informed during the construction phase with regular updates, photos, and milestone progress reports.
    • Address any unforeseen challenges or changes in a transparent and collaborative manner.
      
      

11. Final Inspection and Handover:

    • Schedule a final inspection with the client to ensure that the van conversion meets their expectations.
    • Provide a thorough walkthrough of the van, explaining the functionality of each feature.
      
      

12. Post-Conversion Support:

    • Offer post-conversion support and guidance on maintenance, troubleshooting, or any additional modifications the client may desire.

By following this detailed process and maintaining open communication throughout, you can create a custom van conversion that aligns perfectly with your client's vision for van life.
