Partner Note
A grounded partner note for South African wall-art collaborations, from decor studios to installers and retail spaces.
How Partner Note works in a real décor week
Partner Note sets out how Wall Art Designs works with decor studios, installers and retail spaces. It gives collaborators a clear view of artwork coordination, fitting requirements and shared project responsibilities.
Before sending a Partner Note, record the wall surface, access restrictions, and how the room is used. Pretoria gypsum board, Cape Town sea air, and Durban humidity can change fixing choice, print finish, and packing method. For lodges, offices, clinics, and shop interiors, a measured photo with ceiling height often resolves more than another marked-up PDF.
The opening image should show the full wall, not only the artwork position. Partner Note works best when that image sits with sizes, crop marks, and any installer comments in one place. That reduces mix-ups between revision files when teams are working from email, shared drives, and WhatsApp at the same time.
Partner Note handover points
This note should name the selected size, material, edge detail, and fitting method in plain terms. It also needs one record of who is supplying prints, who is handling installation, and which site conditions still need checking. A concise instruction set is more useful on install day than a long thread of half-decisions.
Use Partner Note alongside substrate choices and artwork references when the scope expands from one wall to a wider interior package. Before dispatch, compare the approved file, final dimensions, and delivery label against the last signed layout. Share a photo of the space and the print finish you like, and the studio will plan the piece.
- Room-specific artwork and fitting record
- Wide site photo with first measurements
- Single contact trail for collaborators
Checks that matter on site
Partner Note should reflect whether the job is for a Sandton office, a KZN retail unit, or a Western Cape guest space. Existing brand guides, supplied artwork, and landlord rules need to be listed at the start, not added after print approval. Keep urgent replacement pieces separate from a broader decorating rollout so sizes and finishes are not confused.
Sea air can affect metal fixings and some laminated surfaces near the coast. Inland dust influences cleaning advice for frames, acrylic faces, and high-traffic reception pieces. Load-shedding may alter print scheduling and access windows, so installation bookings should be checked against building rules and generator noise limits.

When to file the note
Share the Partner Note with project images, site timing, and any sizing, colour, or fitting issues already found. Keep the subject line straightforward.
Create the Partner Note while the approved artwork, wall measurements, and installer queries are still accurate. Attach it to the project record before sign-off for procurement, tenant coordination, or store setup. That gives the studio, client, and installers one shared reference when dimensions or finishes are checked later.
