How do we charge for interior design？
A.) There are tow ways we charge for our service:
1.) Design only, and don’t carry on with the construction works. We will work on the whole design process with sophisticated communication with client carefully, and produce 2D and 3D drawings for clients. We will charge design fees based on the floor area size. This is offering the freedom for client to hire any contractors they love and supervising the works by themselves. If the clients wish us to do the construction management, we will charge a 10% of total construction expenses for the management fee.
B.) Alternatively, we can do the turn-key work for you. On this basis, we will do design works and hire contractors all together for clients. There will be just a all-in-one fees to be charged.
C.) We set up a different rate between floor areas (FA) that is 0-152.00 square metre(M2) (45.99 PIN in Taiwan), and 152.01 M2 (46.00 PIN) and above. Service fees for applying construction permit of interior design will be excluded for the project that is smaller than 152.00 M2. If the project is registered in one address, larger than 152.00M2 and meets the requirement to apply for the simplified construction permit, the administration fees can be included.
However, if we need to for through the process of applying the 2 phases of construction permit for interior design, no matter how big the project is, the service fees for applying the permit will be excluded.
