Commercial renovation designers fees are easy to handle

We even keep our fee structure simple to understand and easy to handle.

For each hour that we generate value and savings for you, we charge $75.00.

We're not contractors, so we don't work for a fixed contract price. By providing services on an hourly fee for service basis, we help you to maintain control of your renovation project and your total project costs. When you say start, we start. When you say stop, we stop. You only pay for the project services you require.

We always provide a service costs to date report, anytime you request.

Although the total fees for a complete project are usually less than 10 percent of the total renovation cost, we typically generate 3-5 times our fee in cost savings.
