Project Fees Commercial

As each commercial project is unique, the fee structure will be set after initial consultations to discuss the scope, design, implementation and project co-ordination requirements.

Project Fees Domestic

Initial Design Consultation – Concept Development

Fee : €375 plus VAT 23% for 2 hours + summary report

The initial design consultation covers a visit to your home where we have an opportunity to discuss your design challenge on site, review the layout, consider budget, commence colour and fabric ideas in order to obtain a clear concept for development.
This design service suits a client who is considering undertaking a design project and needs it assessed or a client who has a smaller project and is looking for a steer
I will suggest ideas for your consideration and a follow up email will be sent with summary of discussion. The client may be happy to take the ideas suggested and look after the implementation and sourcing from here, or alternatively we move to the Design Process Stage.
Note : If the consultation exceeds 2 hours, an hourly rate of €95 plus VAT will apply for full or part hour.
Mileage charge may apply if the location is 20km or over from base.

Design Process Stage

Fee : €95 plus VAT 23%

Following on from the Initial Design Consultation, the Design Process is about developing the design concept to a tangible reality. This involves my design time spent on sourcing the optimum end products, obtaining quotations, collecting samples, downloading moodboard images, reporting and communicating to you the client.
POA can be requested at this juncture as it will be based on number of rooms and elements involved but an hourly rate of €95 plus VAT 23% will apply.
2D & 3D Drawings would be an additional fee but are really only a consideration for commercial projects.

Project Co-ordination

Fee : €100 plus VAT 23% per hour

With the Design Process Stage conclusions provided, you may be happy to implement the scheme yourself and use your own contractors and all that entails.
Should you wish to retain me to assist scheduling and timing of works or to co-ordinate and be on site for my team of sub contractors an hourly rate of €100 plus VAT 23% will apply.
Mileage charge may apply if the location is 20km or over from base. See below for rates.

Colour Consultation

Fee : €220 plus VAT 23% for 1.5 hour

I can help you choose the perfect colour scheme for your space while taking aspect and other design considerations into play in the environs of your home. I carry a full selection of large colour cards for Fleetwood, Colourtrend, Little Greene and Farrow & Ball which can be viewed in your home and help you in your selection.
A summary email will be sent with list of colours specified. If the consultation exceeds 1.5 hours, an hourly rate of €95 plus VAT 23% will apply from that time for full or part hour.
Mileage charge may apply if the location is 20km or over from base. See below for rates.

Travel/Mileage

  • €50 incl. VAT to cover mileage and time travelling each way where client location distance exceeds 20km from Cork Airport base. Paid on the day of consultation.
  • €75 incl. VAT to cover mileage and time travelling each way where client location distance exceeds 40km from Cork Airport base. Paid on the day of consultation

Post the Initial Design Consultation, there is a recommended one month window for the client to book into the Design Process stage.

If a client does not wish to do so within this timeframe, I will assume that the Design Process element will not be required.
