| Just to give people an idea of the range of things, We have a set of plans in the office from a very well-known designer that cost $75,000 for a single room. Granted, it's for a SSL 9000 equipped high-end room. It's also not uncommon for simple consults for small project rooms or home studios to be as low as $1,500. These do not include full plans, but rather a simple layout with some guidelines for construction and treatment. This is why it's more properly called a consult rather than a design in that case. There are still many variables when you take on a project without a full design, but it still can really help over flying blind.
The 3% figure mentioned earlier in the thread sounds like a bargain. I would have expected 5%. It really depends on the scope of the project, and also whether you need full architectural plans and rendering, detailed construction plans, and engineering, as opposed to just a basic design. |
