contract for all interior design work with drenga designs
This is the contract all Clients sign before work is started on your space. Everything is outlined in advance so there are no questions on pricing and timing. As always questions are always welcome, just send me a note!
Scope: Designer shall develop interior furnishing specifications that may include coloration, fabrics, lighting, and furnishings as required. Designer’s services do not include architecture. Designer shall observe construction, painting and consult other professionals such as lighting consultants, landscape architects, architects, and others.
Purchasing: Designer will present specifications to Client for Client to purchase direct. Designer will only purchase items when it is not feasible for the client to do so, as in the instance of to-the-trade only goods or at the direct request of the Client. Purchasing is billed at an hourly rate. Full deposit is required for each item and upon receipt of deposit Designer will place order. Cancellations will be assessed on a per-item basis; custom items cannot be cancelled or returned. Designer shall also arrange delivery and installation of Designer-purchased furnishings and other items purchased on behalf of the Owner for the Project. Client is wholly responsible for all items that have been purchased by the Client.
Drawings: Designer’s drawings are conceptual in nature and are intended to set forth design intent; they are not to be used for architectural or engineering purposes. Designer services do not include modifications to structural, heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical, ventilation or other mechanical systems in the Project.
Contractors: If Project requires contractors to perform work based on Designer’s concepts not otherwise included in Design Services, Client will enter in a contract directly with that contractor. Designer shall observe said contractor.
Design Fees: Designer shall be compensated on an hourly basis at the rate of $50 per hour. Hourly charges will be invoiced to Client and are payable by Client upon receipt of invoice. Upon signing this Agreement, Designer shall receive a non-refundable initial advance of $250, which constitutes the minimum fee due Designer for Design Services. The advance will be credited against hourly fees otherwise payable by Client to Designer for Design Services at completion of project.
Reimbursable Expenses: Owner agrees to reimburse Designer for all out-of-pocket expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Designer in relation to the Project, including but not limited to, renderings, drafting services, postage and handling, freight, delivery and storage costs. Owner is required to have insurance coverage for all furnishings and materials during handling, moving and storage. Owner shall reimburse Designer for all reasonable travel, lodging, and meal expenses incurred by Designer and Designer’s staff (where necessary) in connection with the Project.
Photographs: Client agrees to allow Designer to photograph Project during all stages of Design Services. Photographs will be used for business purposes and will not disclose location or Client’s name without prior consent.
No Price Guarantee: Designer cannot guarantee prices of merchandise, interior installation, or other services not performed by Drenga Designs. Vendor pricing is subject to change and out of the control of Drenga Designs.
Payment: Hourly Fees and Purchases are due in cash or check upon receipt of Proposal or Invoice. Drenga Designs does not accept credit cards.

Termination: If Designer or Client desires to terminate business relationship, Client will be responsible for any outstanding reimbursable charges and hourly charges. All in-process proposals and orders will be completed by Designer and delivered to Client. If a balance remains in Client’s account, the amount will be refunded after the above charges have been deducted.
