BILLING PROCESS

Interior design billing is the process of charging clients for the services and products provided by an interior designer. It typically involves several components, including design fees, project management fees, and product or material expenses.

  • Design fees are the charges for the design work performed by our interior designers. This includes initial consultation, design development, space planning, and concept presentations. Our design fees can be calculated on an hourly or per project based on project scope.

  • Project management fees are the charges for the time and effort required to manage the project, including coordination with contractors, site visits, and overseeing the construction. It can also include the supervision of the installation of furnishings, fixtures, and equipment.

  • Product or material expenses are the costs of the materials, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment used in your design project. These can be billed as a markup on the wholesale cost of the product, or as a flat fee for procurement and delivery.

In some cases, we may also charge additional fees for travel expenses, special requests, or rush orders.

We provide this above information for our clients so they can clearly understand the billing process. We will provide a detailed contract outlining the services to be provided and the associated fees. It is important for us to maintain clear communication with our clients throughout the project to ensure that any changes or additional charges are communicated in a transparent and timely manner. You will receive a monthly invoice depending on the design services we provide you with.
