The Problem
You pour your creativity, time, and expertise into a project. The client loves the mood board, approves the layout, and is excited about the vision. Then comes the proposal.
“It’s just a few furniture pieces and paint, why so much?”
You find yourself justifying your value against the local carpenter’s quote. You win some projects, lose others. But even when you win, the fee negotiation leaves you exhausted. Your craft deserves better.
One Simple Solution
Separate “design fee” from “execution cost.”
Instead of giving one lump sum, break your proposal into two clear parts:
Design Fee: Concept, drawings, material selection, site visits (your intellectual work).
Execution Cost: Furniture, fittings, labor (what the client pays to vendors).
When clients see that your design fee is fixed and fair, they stop comparing your total quote to a carpenter’s price. You position yourself as a professional, not a contractor. This simple shift filters serious clients and protects your margins.
