Apartment renovation — Velvas apartment
Velvas apartment
The Velvas apartment in Kyiv — a full cycle of finishing works followed by furnishing. The scope covered a bedroom with a 3D-wallpaper accent wall and built-in wardrobes, a combined kitchen-dining room with a multi-level ceiling and mixed flooring, a living room with an electric fireplace in a stone surround, an entrance hall with track lighting, and a black-and-white bathroom clad in subway tile. The photos were taken during furniture delivery and on the completed project.

Stage schedule
As of April 14, 2023 · 34 of 34 photos
April 2023 — April 2023
The bars are built from the dates the photographs were taken, not drawn by hand — which is why stages overlap. On a real site something is always being finished while the next trade has already started.
Estimate
In a working account this shows amounts per stage, payments made and the balance. In the demo they are hidden.
| Stage | Status | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture and fittings | Completed | 9 ******₴ |
| Completed | Completed | 3 ******₴ |
| Total | 1 *******₴ |
The amounts are hidden because this is someone else's project. You will see your own in your estimate, not on a website.
Approvals
Every decision that affects the money or the look is logged as its own item. Until the client marks it approved, work on that item does not start.

The approvals shown here are an example of how the mechanism works: the photographs do not record what was actually signed off on this project. Your account will carry your own history.

Work in progress
Each stage is dates and frames from the site. These were shot for the job, not for a website, which is why some of them look exactly like a building site looks.
