Pricing

What design costs, said plainly.

It is the first question nearly everyone has, and the one most studios avoid until the second meeting. Ours are published. You can plan with real figures before you speak to us.

Design, room by room

Where a full design begins.

A starting figure for each room. The exact fee depends on what the room needs, and it is confirmed with you in writing before you agree to it.

Furnishings, new construction and accessory dwelling units are scoped in the Design Consultation and quoted in writing.

If we also build it

Construction is optional, and priced only once the room is drawn.

A firm written price, built from the approved drawing, before anything is demolished. Delivered under a licensed registered contractor, within one hour's drive of the studio.

What moves the fee

Three things shape the price of a design.

And none of them is how long we talk.

01

Whether the layout changes

Designing a room on its footprint is one job. Moving the plumbing, a wall or the island is another, with options to compare and more to draw.

02

How much is made for the room

Custom millwork, a stone layout with continuous veining, a detailed niche: each is drawn piece by piece so it can be built exactly.

03

How far the documents go

A design you can see is one level. A set a builder can price and build from, without a single question left open, is the next.

Questions

Pricing questions

All questions→
Why is design a separate fee?

Because the drawing is what makes every later number true. Design is bought separately, priced separately, and delivered whether or not we build. You can take it to pricing with more than one party.

What decides the fee for a full design?

Three things: whether the layout changes, how much is made specifically for the room, and how far the documents go. The fee is confirmed in writing in the proposal, before you agree to it.

Do Design Day and the Design Consultation count toward Full-Service?

Yes. Design Day ($1,300) is credited in full toward Full-Service Interior Design within 30 days. The Design Consultation ($350) is credited in full within 60 days.

Is the construction price fixed?

The construction price is firm and in writing before anything is demolished. It is built from the approved drawing, with every trade priced against it and no allowances. Nothing over $500 changes afterwards without your signature.

How much should I hold back for the unexpected?

In a house built before 1985, plan for something behind the wall. We put it in the budget as a range from the first conversation, and the site is verified before the firm price is written.

Do you offer financing?

No. We do not offer financing and we do not recommend one option over another. A lender or a financial advisor is the right person for that conversation.
