It works alongside the proposal you accepted, and it covers how we’ll make decisions, document them in builder-ready drawings and specs, and carry the project through to handover.
Our goal is simple: fewer surprises on site. We do that by confirming inputs early, showing you clear options to approve, and flagging conflicts before they turn into change orders after cabinets, rough-ins, or stone are already in motion.
What you get
We’ll provide full-home interior design for your home as described in the accepted proposal, from site measure through final handover. This includes the specific deliverables listed below, and it also includes the coordination needed to keep those documents aligned with the information we receive from you and your builder.
To keep the work builder-ready, we rely on timely inputs and decisions. Before we issue drawings for contractor pricing, we need your builder’s current plan set, any structural changes, window and door sizes, and rough-in locations. If those inputs change after pricing, we may need to update drawings and specs so the field work matches what’s on paper.
* Finish schedule * Specifications book * Kitchen cabinet drawings * Lighting and furniture plan * Construction plan set * Install day punch list
Payment
To book time on our calendar, we invoice 30% of the project price when the proposal is signed. We invoice the remaining 70% when the finished work is handed over. Each invoice is due within 14 days of its date.
If an invoice goes past due, we’ll pause work at the next clean stopping point and let you know what’s needed to restart. That pause protects you too. It prevents us from issuing drawings, specs, or orders while approvals or funding are uncertain, which is when mistakes and change orders tend to show up. Any third-party costs you asked us to place or schedule stay your responsibility even if the project is paused.
Changes
Your project includes two revision rounds at the key decision points we set with you. A “revision round” means you review what we’ve presented, you send us one consolidated list of changes, and we update the same set once. It covers design adjustments inside the agreed scope, not a restart.
After those two rounds, or if you want to change direction after you’ve signed off, we’ll price the extra work and get your written okay before we revise drawings or specs. The same applies if you add rooms, swap major selections after approval, or if site conditions don’t match our measure. We’ll tell you what changes, what it affects, and what it costs before we proceed.
Who owns what
Once your account is paid in full, you own the final finish schedule, specifications book, and drawing set we hand over, and you can use them to build and furnish this home. That ownership is for this property only. If you want to reuse the plans or specs on a different home, we need to agree to that in writing first.
We keep ownership of our working files, templates, libraries, drafting standards, and behind-the-scenes design tools, even if they were created or refined during your project. You’re welcome to share the final package with your builder and trades for this job. Our draft files are not a deliverable unless we specifically say so in writing.
Portfolio use
We may photograph or share the finished work as part of our portfolio. That can include finished room photos, before-and-after comparisons, and limited excerpts from drawings or schedules that show the design result. We do not share your personal contact details.
If you want the project kept private, tell us in writing. If there are specific things you want excluded, like the home’s exterior, address markers, family photos, kids’ rooms, or a recognizable view, list them and we’ll follow that. If privacy comes up mid-project, we’ll adjust what we capture and what we publish going forward. We may still keep internal photos for record-keeping and punch list purposes.
What we’re responsible for
We’re responsible for the interior design work we produce and for communicating it in builder-ready terms. We are not responsible for construction means and methods, site safety, or a builder’s pricing, scheduling, or workmanship. Your builder and trades are responsible for verifying field dimensions and conditions before ordering and installing.
We also can’t control manufacturer availability, dye-lot variation, lead times, or freight handling. If your package includes on-site procurement, receiving, and install styling, we coordinate ordering and receiving as agreed, but we’re not the shipper and we can’t prevent carrier damage. If something arrives wrong or damaged, we’ll help document it and pursue the remedy that the vendor or carrier allows.
Ending the project
Either of us can end the project by giving notice in writing. We’ll agree the notice period with you in writing at the time, based on what stage the project is in and what deadlines are tied to it.
If the project ends, you pay for work completed and any costs we’ve already committed to at your request. After payment is made, we’ll hand over what we’ve completed up to the stop date in a usable form, along with a brief status note so your builder can understand what’s approved, what’s still open, and what would need decisions next.
If your start date slips, we plan around the date you and your builder give us. If it moves, we’ll pause at the next clean stopping point and restart when your builder confirms a new date in writing.
