FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS & ARCHITECTS
Design studios sell a scope, then the room list grows, site visits add up and advisory hours slip past the fee. Choose software that keeps the agreed scope, delivery cost and billable time together, so you can see margin while the project is still running.
Price the design fee and the delivery cost separately.
Agree added rooms or phases before the work starts.
Record site visits and advisory time where billing can see it.
