[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is the whole project will cost $100k. Most designers don't really charge by the hour anymore. [/quote] The two estimates I got were flat fees but hourly rate was written in fine print. So curious what part of the 100k you think should be spent on interior design fees. Small rooms, so actually budget is more like 20k.[/quote] Most designers don't charge an hourly rate anymore because it's not a good way to make money. No one is paying a designer $900 an hour, even with a project budget of $100k. So it makes much more sense for them to make a percentage of the cost of purchases, where the real money is. If you're buying everything off the rack then they need to inflate their hours to make a profit. What are they charging you per hour? For two small rooms, my guess is 20-30 hours of work. If they're suggesting non custom/trade only pieces my guess is they're charging ~$100 an hour. [/quote]
