How do you charge?
As described above, our design services investment, starts at a flat fee that begins at $3,500. Our clients typically have furnishing budgets ranging from $20,000- $75,000+ and construction budgets starting at $50,000+.
Our rate for our hourly Designer on Call service is $150.00/hr with a 10 hr minimum.
What does construction cost?
Construction administration is billed hourly and we’ll provide a rough estimate based on the numbers we’ve put together for our services, alongside estimates from your contractor in your design proposal. We’ll communicate any additional changes with you upfront so you’ll always know what to expect.
How involved do I need to be?
Our process begins and ends with you, and we invite you to collaborate with us so we can create a design that lets you say “This is EXACTLY what I had in mind”.
To make this possible, we’ll need your involvement at a few important milestones: prior to getting started, when we’ll need your design inquiry form you can find here on the website. Once we officially start your project we love to review inspiration images,. During your concept and final design presentations we'll be taking feedback and curating selections unique to your design goals. Each of these key meetings helps to ensure every selection we make for your project is in perfect alignment with your lifestyle and aesthetic.
How long does a project take?
Every project is different and we’ll provide an estimated timeline in your proposal. For the Designer By Your Side Services, from initial kickoff meeting, through design process to furnishing installation you can estimatet between 4-6 months.
For designer on call, if the project entails renovations or construction, we break our projects into two phases: first, a design phase and, second, construction + implementation for construction and orders. Our design phase typically lasts between 11-13 weeks, plus time for revisions, and the management phase can last between 4 months to a year, or longer, depending on the project scope.
Can you recommend a contractor?
We love working with general contractors, professional tradespeople, and local artisans to create interesting and beautiful homes. We have access to an incredibly talented roster of artists and industry experts.
If you don’t already have a contractor or team to help bring your project to life, we can make recommendations. If you already have a contractor, we’d be happy to collaborate with them throughout the process.
