Clients Testimonial
Being Doctors, both me and my husband always aspired to have a newborn care setup of our own. For this, we always had certain ideas about how our setup should be, and honestly, I would say Shree Designs did a great job at it.
We came in touch with Kshititi in the pre covid time and discussed our project, but with the sudden lockdown everything came to a halt. But within a few months, they were back into work mode, which proved to be a big saviour for us.
As Kshititi is mainly into Healthcare projects, she is quite knowledgeable and was very clear, from the beginning about the pre requisites for an ICU setup. As doctors, we had our set of requirements. And she really put our ideas and her skills at work in our project.
Being a Newborn Care Centre, I wanted a lively but minimalistic interior which has been done really well along with meeting all the needs of the hospital. Also, due to space constraints, we faced many challenges related to HVAC and UPS and all, but Kshititi’s attitude was always very positive and she gave good solutions to achieve all requirements.
All I would say in the end is that, working with Shree Designs team was a good experience, the end result was pretty much as good as what we hoped for, I would strongly recommend her team to anyone looking to setup or design a hospital.
