We hope that you have had fun viewing the projects on our web site. You have probably noticed that our projects differ greatly in style from one to another. That is because our philosophy is to treat our clients and their business as the unique individuals they are.

A few things you should know:

• We are always willing to come to your office or building for a brief walk through at no charge. Together we will determine the next step.
• Our fees are based on $100.00 per person/hour. Sometimes more than one of us will be working on your project at a time.
• Jana Design does not represent any product lines exclusively. Often there are better options for your budget shopping retail rather than through the design houses where goods are marked up to accommodate the designers “discount”.
• There are many places to shop where we get 20-40% off of the price of goods or services. Often we are able to pass these great savings on to you. This means that we have no vested interest in whether you choose the higher end or budget approach; our profits are not attached to your choices.
• Once the initial design process has been completed on an hourly retainer, we will arrive at the budget to proceed. Unless there are significant changes during the process we should be able to determine and negotiate a fee and payment schedule based on the scope of the work. This allows you to estimate and anticipate the whole budget from the start.
• Often, on larger projects, we will negotiate a flat fee, based on 20% of the price of goods purchased and services contracted. That is a better deal for you and allows us to come and go as needed
• If you are located outside of a 25 minute commuting range an additional fee will be charged
• We have specific contractors, cabinetmakers, carpet, wood flooring and tile installers, window treatment manufactures and installers for fabric treatments, blinds and wood shutters, iron workers, etc., that we know and love to work with.
• We are also very happy to work with anyone you prefer. We love to meet new qualified craftsmen especially if they are already known and trusted by you.

What we should know:

• If you have a specific tenant improvement budget or an amount of money set aside for your project, it is best to tell us from the start. We can then help you determine how to get the most for your money, or bring you up to speed on how much what you want to do will actually cost.
