Interior Design Contract

The interior designer is an extension of the architect in the sense that he designs ergonomic living spaces according to the habits and desires of its inhabitants. The design of a house may involve demolitions, technical, electrical or plumbing modifications, elevations, custom furniture, etc.

The interior designer provides 3D plans and technical drawings made with professional drawing software, which allow for permit applications, tenders, bids and construction. If given the mandate, he will also supervise the construction site.

As you can see, the interior designer has many strings to his bow and knows how to use them to good effect. Nevertheless, he knows how to surround himself with competent specialists to carry out his project.

The interior design contract is concluded between an individual or a company and a service provider. The interior design contract can be used to carry out the decoration or the arrangement of the goods of a commercial premise. The architect contract must perfectly frame the relations of the parties and stipulate in particular the clauses relating to the obligations of the interior designer, to his remuneration, to the payment of his fees.

The interior architect intervenes specifically in three fields:

Whatever the type of project, the interior designer combines the functions of creator and project manager while taking into account the client’s desires, the technique, the budget and the location. He plays with volumes, colors, materials and lighting. The interior architect must also ensure the general direction of the execution of the work. He is responsible for the project until its completion. He must assist his client in the reception and adjustment of the work and the respect of a schedule.

The interior architect has a mission that takes place in several stages. These steps will involve different stakeholders:

The important part of the project is the program. Depending on the type of program, the project manager will have to meet a different qualification. The program records in writing all the information necessary for the client and his interior designer to undertake the work in good understanding. It is very detailed and includes, among other things, the functional diagrams and the distribution of spaces. If the client cannot do it himself, he will call on professionals and may launch feasibility studies and diagnoses. The program is a contractual document: it defines the object of the study on which the mission contract is based.

The main role of an interior designer is to give life to your project while respecting your budget, your desires and the constraints of your home. Through his training and professional experience, he can accompany the transformation of a home from a technical, functional, but also and aesthetic point of view.

The orientation of an interior designer is not limited to the decoration. He has a global vision of the project and of the work to be done to design an interior that reflects your personality. An interior designer can intervene on the whole house or only on a precise area. In this second situation, it is frequent that the project of installation must integrate constraints related to the existing: location of the windows, load-bearing walls, pipes… The constraints can also come from the clients themselves: keeping furniture, using certain materials, or on the contrary avoiding them, giving several functions to the same space.

Refining the project consists first of all in making plans or visuals of the project. The interior designer shares his ideas with you. Depending on the tools at his disposal, the interior designer can draw 2D or 3D plans, computer-generated perspectives, or even set up virtual tours. This step is essential so that you can better project yourself in your future home and check if it corresponds to your project. The interior designer then presents the prices and rates according to the chosen services. If you agree with the project, the interior designer can then choose the colors, the materials and establish a work schedule. If you do not agree, the design or decoration project must be revised. The services of an interior designer are all the more important in Thailand as condominiums are generally the same. Therefore, customizing your business would allow the owner to have a unique property with a more excellent value.

Refining the decorating project allows you to take into account all the details: the way the doors open, the location of outlets, switches and lighting. It is mainly for the management of these finishes that calling an interior designer seems relevant and interesting. He doesn’t forget anything so that the work is well done and that the apartment or house is functional and design. Also, as a decorator, an interior designer is very good at advising on the choice of decoration: paint, wallpaper, furniture, carpets, lighting, linen, accessories. For the work to be successful, he suggests color schemes and trendy materials. The different spaces of a house are then coherent and in phase with your tastes.
