BUSINESS ANALYSIS
It would be unwise for an interior designer to start working on a project for a
client without knowing the current situation of the space and requirements of the
client for the new plan and speci?cations. Likewise, it is unwise to create a plan
for the future of the business without ?rst analyzing the ?rms current condition.
It is very dif?cult to determine what the possibilities for the ?rm are until the
owner and employees know what they can do right now. By carefully looking at
the forces that affect the design ?rm, the planning team can make better
judgments for the future.
This type of layer has a vapour resistance of more than 0.25 MNs/g.
Sequence of construction
Some of the details presented in this document can only be followed effectively if
consideration is given to the sequence of construction. This is important with
regard
to the placing of insulation materials and particularly where insulation needs
access
from two sides to allow correct positioning. An example of this is at the eaves of
a
roof where it may be necessary to fit the insulation which links the wall and roof
insulation before the soffit boards are fitted.
Dense Block
For the purposes of this document a dense block is one with a thermal conductivity
greater than 0.7 W/mK.
Air infiltration
The details shown in this document contain measures designed to reduce air
infiltration. This depends on the form of construction and the level of workmanship
but the objective is to form a definable, continuous air barrier around the
dwelling.
Ways of preventing air infiltration should then be considered at every penetration
of
this barrier.
General
close any vertical ducts at the top and bottom where they meet the air barrier
(e.g. boxing round soil vent pipes)
seal any service penetrations through the air barrier
select the appropriate sealant or gap filler for the size of gap and degree of
movement anticipated.
Masonry Construction
ensure continuous ribbons of adhesive are used to fix to dry lining at
perimeters of external walls, openings, and services on external walls. The
importance of correct sealing of dry lining on dabs needs to be stressed, as
this is a key area of infiltration and can seriously affect the overall ventilation
rate
use joist hangers to support floor joists
seal under skirting boards where dry lining is used, or on suspended floors.
Timber Frame
ensure DPCs are turned up behind sole plates and lap with vapour control
layers; alternatively seal with mastic or a gasket between the DPC and sole
plate
place bead of mastic on timber floor deck before positioning wall panels
(timber ground floors and intermediate floors)
ensure sheet vapour control layers are properly lapped at junctions, and/or,
ensure any vapour control plasterboard is jointed in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions
always return vapour control layers into door and window reveals, head and
sills
cut vapour control layers tight to electrical outlets and seal at piped service
penetrations, (with tape or sealant as appropriate)
ensure all breather control membranes overlap each other and are stapled in
place.

External factors are the opportunities for, and threats to, the ?rm. Firms
that are busy keeping up with its current day-to-day practice often miss seeing
potential opportunities. Not reading the newspaper makes it nearly impossible
to know if a new corporate headquarters is moving into the area. A contact with
the real estate brokerage company that is helping a corporation locate housing
for its headquarters personnels move into the design ?rms city is a way to
exploit an opportunity. Other extfrecasts, and the ?rms customers can be
opportunities or threats depending on exactly what is going on. New legislation
limiting aspects of traditional interior design practice, such as requiring
contractors licenses for supervision of materials installation, is a potential
threat.
Examples of SWOT items are shown in Table 13-2. Additional examples are
included on the CD as Item 13-2. These examples should help you write your own
SWOT analysis.
This kind of formal analysis helps the design ?rm to understand what it can
do, what it wants to do, and what it must work on to improve present services so
that the ?rm will be in a position to offer additional services. It also helps de?

The easiest way to begin SWOT analysis for the strategic plan is by
reviewing the skills and interests of the owner and all the staff. Once the ?rm
knows what skills and knowledge exist within the staff, analysis of how the ?rm
operates and processes of the company are importantespecially when a desire
to enter a new market is considered. If customer service has been notoriously
bad, this factor will not help the company when it seeks to obtain a new market.
Competition and existing or expected customer base is also important. Interior
designers do not feel they have competition, but they do. Every residential
