TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DESIGN RELATIONSHIP

Without clear financial parameters we cannot plan a project effectively. It is an important step in the design process to develop a budget that has been mutually agreed upon by all client parties (spouse, family, etc.) and record it down in writing for us all to be on the same page.

Make sure to have all opinions taken into consideration before the start of the design process. Switching directions in the middle of a project can complicate a project and lead to scope, timeline, and design fee increases. By doing this beforehand we are more easily able to translate a collective vision into the overall design.

Agreeing to a timeline is crucial for the success of any interior design project. It ensures that all selections are made promptly, purchase orders are signed without delay, and pricing fluctuations are kept in check. Timely decisions not only help stay within budget but also keep costs down and maintain a steady flow of progress. By staying on track, the project moves forward efficiently, preventing delays and ensuring the desired outcome is achieved within the agreed upon schedule.

Our clients are part of our team the moment we have a signed agreement. This means mutual respect and honest communication is agreed upon from the start. Our goal is to collaborate closely, ensuring we work toward the same objectives. The success of the project will be a result of the overall willingness to work together in a respectful and trusting relationship.

We have your best interest in mind when making decisions, procuring furnishings and materials, and deciding on details for your project. It is important to let us use our professional eye to make the right decision for your project. Remember why you hired a designer

When clients make purchases outside of EFI or pay invoices late, the whole project is affected Failure to pay invoices in a timely manner can result in elongated timeline and additional charges. Purchases made outside of our collaboration may not work aesthetically or logistically and can affect the overall design result.
