Detailed Specifications  \n2. Scope of Work  \n3. Drawings  \n4. Consultants and Contractors  \n5. Design Fees  \n6. Price Guarantees (or Not)  \n7. Purchasing and Procurement  \n8. Refunds  \n9. Cancellations  \n10. Reimbursable Costs  \n11.Payment Terms  \n12. Insurance  \n13. Photographing Completed Works  \n1. Detailed Specifications  \nThe interior designer must develop specifications of all works to be done as detailed on plan and 3D drawings where applicable. Specifications may include interior furnishing specifications as it relates to colour schemes, fabric choices, proposed lighting , furniture, and furnishings and all other design and interior design construction work as is required for the project.  \n2. Scope of Work  \nThis is where the designer’s details must be as exhaustive as is possible. Where the designer uses a fixed fee, for instance, the scope of work must be comprehensive and must spell out what will be done and delivered to the client.  \nIt must be noted that the designer’s work does not include services from contractors like architectural, plumbing, lighting, and engineering contractors, and neither do will they include modifications and alterations to structural, plumbing, heating, electrical, air conditioning, or ventilation systems in the design project.  \n3. Drawings  \nDetailed blueprints must be attached to the agreement form between both parties. However, the client must know that drawings are only conceptual and serve as a design concept and not to be used for other purposes. There must be clarity as to the purpose of the designs, and it must be stated how they can or cannot be used.  \nThe onus also lies on the client to ensure that he or she provides accurate information to the designer. There must also be a clear statement affirming that all blueprints and other attached documents must not be used by the client for any purpose other than what is laid out in the interior design agreement.  \n4. Consultants and Contractors  \nBecause a designer is not a general contractor when a contract requires the input of consultants and contractors, the client will enter in a separate contract for their services.  \nAn interior designer will not provide a warranty, guarantee, or certification of their part of the project and neither will the designer be responsible for the quality of their works, materials used, their performance, nor their duration of works. However, the designer shall supervise them for conformity to his or her design concept.  \n5. Design Fees  \nAn interior design agreement form must include the fee structure and how charges will be made, and when each payment stage will be implemented. The client must pay, according to the terms, when an invoice is presented. Upon signing the agreement, a client shall pay the designer a non-refundable deposit which establishes a minimum fee for all design Services. This deposit will be credited against all fees payable to the designer upon completion of the project.  \nThe designer must be very clear on how he or she plans to charge, and this must be clearly stated in the agreement papers. There must be no assumptions or else it will be open to disputes somewhere down the line.  \n6. Price Guarantees (or Not)  \nAn interior designer cannot guarantee prices of merchandise, interior installation, or other services not performed by him or her, because vendor pricing is sometimes subject to change, and if a client is indecisive or unsure, and takes longer than is necessary to make a firm decision, a vendor’s change in price will be out of the  \ndesigner’s control.
