Interior Design - Residential
For a full Interior Design of a new home or renovation we prefer to begin the process with an initial consultation which will cover the following:
Scope of works
Your design wishlist
Design & building constraints
Sharing of Pinterest pages
Proposed budget
Hourly rates for residential interior design vary according to the number of hours worked, and start at $90 per hour. Initial Consultations generally take 1-3 hours, depending on the size of the project. Travel time to the site is charged at half the normal hourly rate plus $0.55 per km traveled.
Once the initial consultation is complete your Interior Designer will compile a quote to reflect the services that she believes are required to achieve your desired outcome. The quote will be itemised, based on the Interior Designer's estimate of time spent on each service. General items that may be quoted include:
Design Brief
Mood Board
Fit-out sample boards
Schedule of Finishes & Fittings
CAD Floor Plans
CAD Elevations
3D Design Concepts
Colour selections
Project Management
Budgets
Procurement of furniture, fittings, equipment etc..
Specifications Documentation
Schedules of furniture
CAD cabinetry design
Lighting design plan
For a new build many of the above listed items may already be covered by your architect or draftsperson. We are happy to work in with them throughout the project to ensure your design wishes are met. The items quoted will include reasonable time spent liaising with the client, builders, suppliers and other trades throughout the terms of the project. Any additional hours that the Interior Designer is required outside the general "Scope of Works" will be charged at $90 per hour.
