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

We understand it can be challenging to work with an interior design firm since it is a completely un-regulated field. It is equally challenging for us to create an easily understandable fee structure when projects differ greatly from one another.

The breakdowns below covers the full use of our resources and expertise during the time engaged. The client will additionally be required to pay for all products and outside services either directly and/or as a reimbursement to us. We will provide invoices and receipts to help you keep track of the costs involved with your project.

Jana Design does not represent any product lines exclusively. Often there are better options for your budget shopping retail 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. We are then able to pass   great savings on to you. This means that we have little vested interest in whether you choose the higher end or budget approach.

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

We have many contractors, cabinetmakers, carpet, and tile installers, window treatment manufactures and installers for fabric treatments, blinds and wood shutters 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 trusted by you.

Many of our referrals are family members or good friends of our happy clients. We love it when a client not only recommends us but also gives a gift certificate of our services. It is fun for the giver, the receiver and for us, too! Ask us how you can give a gift of Jana Design Services to someone you know and love!

This is how we break things down at Jana Design:

STEP ONE:

1. Basic walk through (1-2 hours)
   • For a $150.00* initial visit fee we will come to your space and access the requirements of the project. We will give you ideas of what we can do and talk about color, flow and specific solutions to your problems. It is typical for us to leave this visit with a plan of how you would like us to proceed and a monetary advance to do so. When this occurs we give you the first continuing hour- FREE!

2. Walk through with COLOR CONSULTATION (3-4 hours)
   • For  $350.00* we will come to your space and help you create a plan to follow through on your own or with Jana and her team.  We will bring our color swatches and help you map out the potential of changes you could make in the immediate or eventual future. For some this is all you may need.

Most will call us for follow-up consultations at specific junctures in their project when they have more decisions to make for a continuing fee of $100.00 per hour. When this occurs we give you the first continuing hour- FREE!

* If you are located outside of a 25 minute commuting range, an additional fee will be charged for travel time.

STEP TWO:

If your project is specific enough we can determine an approximate fee for what you would like us to do, based on $100.00* per hour, paid in advance in 10-hour intervals (2 hour min.). Once the defined project is accomplished with a set of detailed plans and/or sources you can choose how to proceed:

1. Supervise yourself:
   Some of our clients have the free time (or a staff) to manage their own projects, supervise the subs (contractors, painters, carpenters…) every day or shop for their own furnishings and accessories…

OR

2. Jana Design on call:
   Our clients feel free to call us on an “as needed bases” when specific decisions or changes need to be made.  We are happy to collaborate until the project is completed and bill for these hours monthly. We can be on site as much as is needed to assure a successful outcome and bill accordingly.

OR

3. We do it all:
   Most however rely on our staff to follow through from start to finish.. We will shop for you or with you, arrange for deliveries and be on site to receive and set things up. We will oversee your construction or painting project by starting or/and ending every day on site while remaining on call to the contractors or artisans, as they need us. This process is based on $100.00 per hour, in advance, usually in 10-hour intervals.

Often, on larger projects, our clients prefer a flat fee, based on 20% of the price of goods purchased and the services contracted. 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 pay schedule based on the scope of the work. This allows you to estimate and anticipate the whole budget from the start.

* If you are located outside of a 25 minute commuting range, an additional fee will be charged for travel time.
