Interior architect quote
We are planning a downstairs refurbishment and small extension out the back of our 4 bed semi-detached house (30 yrs old). We've never done anything like this before, so we got a quote from an interior architect for taking on the project. They estimated 155 hours and quoted us €12,500 for their services, itemised into three phases below.
I don't have any doubts about the firms credentials - they are well known and reputable. It's just that I have no experience in these matters, so was wondering if anyone who does could give me their opinion on the quote received? Thanks!
Phase I
- Initial consultation along with site survey documentation
- Space planning and layout development drawings
- Concept design and visual presentation proposal
- Electrical and lighting layout plans, coordinated with audio-visual requirements
Phase II
- Comprehensive drawing packages including joinery and custom-built elements
- Detailed specifications and supporting drawings
- Furniture planning and layout arrangements
- Kitchen design, vanity units, and sanitary ware specification
- 3D visualisation renders
Phase III
- Colour scheme consultation and finishes selection
- Wall and flooring finish specifications
- Furniture selection
- Lighting fixture selection
- Soft furnishing selection
- Final styling and dressing on project completion
