Questions On Interior Designers

Guardi Pro

I will try to make this as short as possible... Who would you make the contract out to? Home owner, or I/D... Would you bid 10 to 15% higher due to all the extra hassel & is it worth it?? I have been told good & bad things about I/D. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Who hired you? Who's name is on the checks that will be written to you? That's who you are working for.

I have worked with a lot of desighners, I usually get my money from the client, and give the desighner 5percent off the top.

THe one time i let the desighner pay me, I got screwed out of 3,500.

Desighners are a very good source of buisness imo

This works both ways. Sometimes the HO hires the ID and the ID calls me, in that case I'm working for the ID.

More often, I ask the HO if the would prefer the advice of an ID (I'm a contractor, not Martha Stewart), in this case the ID is working for me.

I'm a big advocate of ID's if you are in a high-end enviroment. They can add much percieved value to your work.

We do work for couple of designers.
Great source of work and colour schedules off our hands.
I find them easier to work with than most General Contractors,
especially on the money issue.
