Choose the right level of support

Professional Design Without Paying Us to Supply the Parts

Design-only gives you the same core design and approval discipline used for complete commissions. The difference starts after approval: we hand over the technical package, while you control purchasing, sorting and assembly.

Choose complete supply when

You want one team to handle the physical work.

  • You do not want to find, compare and order parts yourself.
  • You need parts counted, checked and organised for building.
  • You require branded packaging, printing or multiple identical sets.
  • You have a firm delivery date or several recipients.
  • You want a ready-to-build kit or professionally completed display model.

Your final design package

Everything Needed to Source and Build the Approved Model

Each deliverable is created from the same final digital model, keeping the visuals, inventory and build sequence aligned.

01

Buildable 3D Model

A professionally developed digital model shaped around appearance, structure, available geometry and the intended building experience.

  • Proportions agreed to your brief
  • Part-aware construction
  • Final version locked at approval
02

Approval Renders

Clear, multiple-angle images show the proposed model before the technical package is finalised, giving you a reliable review point.

  • Useful viewing angles
  • Colours and key details visible
  • Final approved render set included
03

Exact Parts Inventory

The parts list identifies the elements, colours and quantities represented in the approved design so you can plan purchasing accurately.

  • Part and colour references
  • Exact model quantities
  • Prepared for independent sourcing
04

Step-by-Step Instructions

Professional digital building instructions translate the final design into a logical sequence that is clear to follow on screen or in print.

  • Structured build progression
  • Clear part placement
  • PDF delivery for easy access

A controlled design process

Five Clear Stages From Rough Idea to Final Files

You see and approve the model before technical handover. Each stage fixes the right decisions before the next one begins, reducing rework and uncertainty.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Send what you already have.

    Share photographs, plans, sketches, products, branding or a short description. Tell us the purpose, preferred size and any deadline already known.

    OutcomeA practical design direction
  2. 02

    Scope

    Agree the model and deliverables.

    We assess complexity, scale, file requirements and the intended builder. Your quote defines what is included, the approval stages and a realistic schedule.

    OutcomeA fixed scope and clear quote
  3. 03

    Design

    Review the digital model.

    Our designer balances likeness, detail, stability, buildability and part availability. You review multiple-angle renders and give focused feedback.

    OutcomeAn approved final design
  4. 04

    Documentation

    Prepare the technical package.

    Once the model is approved, we finalise the parts inventory, build sequence, digital instructions and agreed image or source formats.

    OutcomeAligned, production-ready files
  5. 05

    Handover

    Source and build with support.

    Your package is delivered digitally. You take control of purchasing and assembly, while our team remains available for agreed aftercare.

    OutcomeEverything needed to begin

Clear division of responsibility

We Handle the Technical Design. You Control the Physical Supply.

This distinction keeps design-only commercially clear. You know exactly what Belle-Ve Bricks delivers and what remains with your team.

Belle-Ve Bricks handles

  • Brief development and feasibility guidance
  • Digital model design and structural planning
  • Approval renders and design refinements
  • Exact inventory and digital instructions
  • Clarification and agreed aftercare

You or your supplier handles

  • Part purchasing and supplier selection
  • Shipping, taxes and marketplace terms
  • Receiving, checking and sorting orders
  • Physical assembly and final build checks
  • Physical test-building unless quoted separately
  • Any packaging, distribution or resale activity

Prefer us to handle both sides? Your approved design can be converted to a complete supply project, with the design fee carried into the wider commission.

Design discipline in practice

Complex Models Start With the Same Digital Approval Process

Hunter Price commissioned a detailed model of Devon Mill. Before parts were ordered, the building, tower, chimney and personalised team were resolved in the digital design and reviewed through rendered views.

This was delivered as a complete model commission, but its design phase demonstrates the same part-aware development and approval standard used for design-only projects.

“INCREDIBLE!!! Most thoughtful gift I’ve ever had!”

Transparent project pricing

One Agreed Design Fee, Defined Before Work Begins

Design-only projects are quoted individually because model scale, geometry, detail and instruction complexity determine the work involved. Your quote defines the deliverables, revision stages, schedule, aftercare scope and final file formats.

Physical parts are not included. You pay suppliers directly when sourcing the approved inventory, so stock, shipping and marketplace charges remain under your control.

  • No obligation at enquiry stage
  • No unapproved production charges
  • Clear upgrade route to complete supply

Before you enquire

Design-Only Questions, Answered Clearly

You do not need to settle every technical detail first. Share the references and intended outcome, then we will identify what needs to be defined.

Discuss your model idea
What exactly will I receive?

Your standard package includes the approved digital model, multiple-angle renders, an exact parts inventory and step-by-step PDF building instructions. Any additional source formats or specialist production files are defined in your quote.

Do you check whether the parts are sourceable?

Part availability is considered throughout design so the model remains practical to build. Marketplace stock and prices change after handover, so we also provide guidance on sensible substitutions if a specific element becomes difficult to obtain.

Can you help me buy the parts?

Yes. Aftercare includes guidance on using the parts inventory and resolving sourcing questions. If you decide you want us to purchase, check and supply everything, the project can be upgraded to a complete kit commission.

Can I request changes to the design?

Yes. The quote defines the review stages, and you provide feedback on the digital renders before final approval. Changes requested after approval or outside the agreed brief are assessed separately so cost and timing stay controlled.

Which file formats are supplied?

Building instructions are normally supplied as a PDF, renders as standard image files and the inventory in an agreed purchasing-ready format. Tell us before quotation if your supplier or internal workflow requires a particular native or exchange format.

How long does design take?

Timing depends on model complexity, reference quality and the speed of feedback. Your quote includes a realistic design schedule and approval plan before work begins.

Can I upgrade to a complete kit later?

Yes. We can quote to source, check, pack and deliver the parts after design approval. The design fee already paid carries into the complete supply commission rather than being charged again.

Is a physical test build included?

Not as standard. Design-only work is developed digitally around structure, buildability and sourceable elements. If the project requires a physical prototype or test build, include that requirement before quotation so the extra parts, assembly and review stage are defined in the scope.

Can I reproduce or sell the design?

Tell us the intended use, quantity and distribution route before quotation. Any commercial production, resale, exclusivity or wider usage rights are then stated in the agreed project scope rather than assumed from the standard design-only handover.
