FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A new house design is $10,000 based on my design process which I have detailed including a meeting schedule partially described above. There are discounted service packages that involve less sophisticated visualizations as well as less design options. Interior Jobs are billed at $20 per hour and do not have a set schedule. A commercial application is a modification of this design schedule and is based on the complexity of the project.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The following schedule is for a new single family home. The schedule can be adapted for interior designs. The meetings are important to see what the client wants to get out of the experience, how clear of a direction exists before the designer is involved, some people know exactly what they want others do not. Initial Budget/ Scope Meeting (Client Current) 1 Week Design Charette (Sketches/ Ideas/ Direction) Site Visit (At Client Future) Design Direction Client Meeting (Establishing on same page) 2 Weeks Design (Create 3 Design Options) Decision Meeting (Client Selects 1 Design) 1 Week Finishing Touches
