Custom RFP response sample
Please provide a detailed breakdown of the design fees for the conceptual and schematic design phases.
Our fee for the Conceptual and Schematic Design phases is structured as a fixed lump sum of $12,000. This includes the development of two distinct mood boards, initial space planning layouts, and a preliminary materials palette to establish the project's aesthetic direction.
How are additional revisions handled beyond the agreed-upon scope of the fee proposal?
Revisions exceeding the three rounds included in the base fee are billed at our standard hourly rate of $150 per hour. All additional work is documented via a change order and approved by the client in writing before commencement.
Does the proposed fee include procurement management and vendor coordination?
Procurement management is available as an optional add-on service calculated as 15% of the total FF&E spend. This covers vendor sourcing, purchase order management, and delivery coordination.

Practical guide
Structuring a Competitive Interior Design Fee Proposal
A professional interior design fee proposal must balance transparency with flexibility. It should clearly delineate the phases of work—from conceptualization and design development to procurement and installation—ensuring the client understands exactly what is included in the fixed fees versus what triggers hourly billing.
By utilizing a structured workbench to draft these responses, designers can ensure that no critical project requirement is overlooked. Moving from a static template to a source-backed AI draft allows you to maintain consistent pricing while tailoring the value proposition to the specific needs of each residential or commercial project.
