INTERIOR DESIGN FEES
STRUCTURE
Many
fears and misunderstandings are generated by the different way interior
designers charge for what appears to be a similar service. An important part of
our policy is to offer a no-obligation first meeting that is completely free of
charge. You can test the water without any risk and if you decline our services
we promise not to hound you.
The
following fee structure is for residential clients served. For maximum
flexibility we incorporate two breakpoints in our fee structure. This allows
you to determine precisely the level of involvement of our company in your
project.
DESIGN
STAGE
Initial
Meeting-FREE OF CHARGE.
Subsequent Meetings-PHP 2,000.00.
Design Fee- PHP 5,000.00 per room, including sample
board. The design fee covers outsourcing of all fabrics, wall and floor
coverings, acquisition of samples and brochures and standard room survey.
3D Drawings- colour rendered drawings of room schemes can be provided at cost,
if client requires.
Sourcing of furniture, light fittings and accessories- this is recommended to
achieve the full implementation of the designed interior.
PROGRESS
STAGE
Contracts and Planning- All designs drawings required to detail the
project are included in the design fees. Drawing alteration beyond those
considered reasonable during the collaborative design process is charged per
hour, Photo copies are charged at cost. Preparation and submission of
appropriate application for consent to local authority, if required- These are
charge per hour. (Please contact us for our rates.)
(From this point---You may choose to implement the design yourself at this
stage. The design materials and drawings will facilitate this.)
Building and Decorating Specifications- Once the design is
approved the client has the option to commission full building and decorating
specifications for each room. These are highly desirable documents used to
detail the works required to the contractor for quotation purposes and to guide
the activities of the contractor during the project itself. These are charge
per square meter. (You may contact us for rates.)
(From this point--- You are fully equipped to find, appoint and manage your own
contractor.)
Co-ordination of Contractors- PICAN INTERIOR DEISGNS offer
Project Management or may act as your Contractor to achieve the full
implementation of the design. We can however recommend a qualified Project
Manager who can organise tenders and oversee the works on site.
