Initial Questions
Protects Investments: A considerable amount of investment is involved when you are planning for renovating either new premises or your old ones. Wrong decisions could leave you with expensive mistakes long after the project is completed. An interior designer is a skilled professional with the requisite qualifications, resources, and expertise, who will ensure that the job done is appropriate as per your requirement, within budget and on time. Hence, the involvement of a professional is advisable.

An amateur working over designing your interiors could require the usage of more resources in terms of time and money as he lacks the professional knowledge. With years of specialized education and training, coupled with practical experience in their fields, interior designers are capable of bringing the construction costs down considerably. Most importantly, they can guarantee you value for money. At Home Makers Interior Designers & Decorators Private Limited, we go a step beyond and even surpass your expectations and leave you in a state of delight. We design solutions that ensure minimum wastage, assisting clients to get discounts from suppliers, and verifying contractor’s bills contribute largely to achieving a reduction in wastage and expenses.
The ideal time should be during the planning stage, i.e. before the actual construction of the building commences. Consider creating the doors and windows openings as per the desired layout of the bed, the wardrobe and the chairs, rather than trying to ill-fit the bed in an existing small bedroom with fixed movement areas. This additionally saves up on expenses involved in making structural changes at a later stage.
Technical Questions
It is in the interest of the client to let the designer freeze most of the paperwork, identify the materials to be used as much as the respective contractors before starting the actual site work. It is advisable than trying to hurry up initially and then increasing up on the costs due to the subsequent delays in work and the ever-changing layouts.
Once the layout plans are frozen with the client after incorporating all his requirements, the interior designers work out the time required for completion of the project. The estimated time for completion is determined after considering all the factors like designing, procurement of material, civil changes, execution of work by labours, etc.
Material procurement is something that we leave to our clients. However, if desired, we can assist the client in procuring quality material in the best possible price. Either way, we operate strictly on a fee-to-service basis and pass on all professional discounts and commissions to our clients, therefore protecting the client’s interests at all times.
Billing Questions
Certainly! There are two ways of achieving this. We’ve developed our own hands-on system to take the estimate of the interior design budgeting. Using a systematic approach, all the items of work are clearly specified, quantified and budgeted. Prior to the starting of the project, we provide the client a final cost estimate. In the event where there is a limited budget, we can always work backward and create the best possible design solution within a given cost. We are always sensitive to our clients’ budgets.
At a retention fee which is adjusted in the actual fee amount, we take up the site measurement, come up with options for the basic plan and hold initial meetings with the client so as to enable ourselves to know each other better. This also helps us to arrive at the final estimated cost, which is based on the client’s brief and requirement. Our fee is generally an amount decided by us in lump sum rather than as a percentage so as to avoid any kind of influence on the total project cost.
If Home Makers executes your total turnkey project including materials, labour, and supervision, then designing charges are absolutely free; otherwise ₹300 per sq.ft designing charges payable.
