How much do you charge?
-
Short answer - every project is different. Every client has a different starting point and a different level of need from their designer. Reach out and let's talk about your project and we can go from there :)
How much will this design cost to build?
-
This is something that has so many variables. Every contractor is different, every building level is different (finishes can make or break a budget!), and material availability and manpower vary so much - the pandemic showed us this.
-
I recommend getting a contractor on board early on, or after the design is agreed to get the project bid by a couple contractors. The contractor can provide cost-saving solutions to incorporate into the plans.
Do you have a contractor you work with?
-
I have a few contractors that I have worked with that I can recommend, and a few that I can recommend you don't use. But the decision is yours to make as the contractor relationship is an important one to make sure there is a personality fit - you'll get to know them pretty well over the build.
What if we need to stop the project?
-
For many unforeseen reasons, some projects may need to be put on hold or canceled. If this happens services to date are to be paid. I will never charge you for work that is not done.
Great! You've answered all my questions and I want to proceed, what are the next steps?
-
First off, thank you! Thank you for supporting a small business!
-
I will put together a contract, with more information, and request a retainer. The retainer shows a level of commitment to the project and me.
