The Van Conversion
Build Process

Designing a custom van conversion involves a thorough and collaborative consulting process with clients to understand their unique needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Here's what you can expect for our process:

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

Bringing It
To Life

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

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

- 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.
