Interior projects are quoted in many different ways, which is why clients often cannot compare two quotations. A structured quotation makes your price easier to understand and defend.
State clearly whether you are quoting design only, design and project management, or turnkey execution. Mixing these in one lump sum is the most common source of confusion.
Group line items by space, such as living room, kitchen and bedrooms. Clients can then remove or change one area without recalculating the whole quote.
Name the items that are not included, for example civil changes, appliances or loose furniture, and explain how changes after approval are priced.
Tie payments to stages such as design approval, material order and handover. It protects both sides and gives the client a clear picture of progress.
Show taxable value and GST separately for each category if your accountant advises that. Rates can differ between design services and supply of goods, so confirm with a qualified professional.
