Design Services
Following the Design Thinking Process shown below, we take you from an objective to designs that can be rolled out and meet those objectives. Once the ideas are flushed out, we help you visualize them with Conceptual Design, 3D Modeling, and Material & Finish Boards, before moving to Detailed Shop Drawings, Value Engineering, and then Finished Renderings and Working Prototypes. In short, we work with you from napkin sketch to installation, and give you the tools to efficiently and effectively realize your vision every step of the way.
The Design Process
We follow MIT's proven design process and provide a cross disciplined team of experts to develop highly effective design solutions to your program needs.
Phase 1: Understand
- Clearly understand and define your clientele, needs and problems.
Phase 2: Explore
- Concepts, Renderings & prototypes are created that speak to the clientele and address their needs.
Phase 3: Materialize
- Concepts that meet production, budget and performance needs.
Conceptual Renderings
We provide Creative Design & 3D Renderings using SolidWorks 2021 and various rendering softwares. Most importantly, all of our designs are developed on a foundation of form, fit, function, branding and the ability to be built on-time and within budgets. Benefit from:
- Environments, Fixtures, Signage & Graphics.
- Concepts that meet production, budget and performance needs.
- Photorealistic Renderings.

Engineer & Prototype
Specializing in the creative design only takes you part of the way to a successful fixture program. The materials, construction, ergonomics, safety, security, ADA requirements, installation requirements, and climate can all undermine your programs success. Bishop Fixture's design-enigineering and project management team ensures your fixtures and environments meet all your performance requirements.
