Things to Consider When Preparing Quotes

• Client Needs – Knowing the client’s style preferences and budget influences the design options and project cost.
• Labor & Design Time – The time required for consultation, planning, sourcing, and coordination should be factored into the designer’s service fees.
• Current Prices – Furniture and décor prices should be checked beforehand to ensure the quote reflects current market costs.
• Product Availability – Product availability and lead times can affect both project timelines and final costs.
• Size & Complexity – Larger spaces, custom features, or detailed design plans may require additional time and resources to complete the project.
• Quote Validity Period – Setting an expiration date protects the designer from price changes caused by shifts in material or vendor costs.
