Fees By the sq ft? Hourly?
Description
What’s the best way to charge for your design work, by the hour, by the square foot, or with flat fees? In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m breaking down the pros and cons of each method, and revealing why design fees are the real workhorse of your business. You’ll learn how to handle scope creep, price add-ons properly, and present fees that align with how builders and clients think—without giving away your time or undercharging.
This episode is packed with practical advice to help you price confidently and get paid what you’re worth.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why design fees beat hourly billing every time
- When it is okay to bill hourly, and how to do it right
- The pitfalls of square foot pricing and how to avoid them
- How to handle add-on requests without giving your time away
- The #1 pricing strategy that positions you as a pro
