Bianchi | Interior Design Fee Proposal Template
- Unit price
- /per
When a client sees the fee before understanding the work behind it, the number has to carry the entire proposal.
This fee proposal template helps you present the project, proposed service and working arrangements before introducing the investment, giving clients the context they need to consider the full scope of your work.
Begin with the substantial work already done
Pre-written content gives you more than an empty layout. It provides a considered starting point that you can adapt to your services and terms, then shorten, expand or rearrange according to the project. All wording, fees, policies and terms should be reviewed and adapted to your business and local requirements.
What the proposal helps you set out
The template brings the principal parts of a project-specific appointment into a considered sequence:
- The project and proposed service: Introduce the client brief, summarise your understanding of the project and explain the service you are proposing before presenting the fee.
- Scope and deliverables: Define what is included at each stage, what the client will receive and where your involvement begins and ends.
- Timeline and working arrangements: Set out the anticipated project stages, schedule, communication channels and response expectations.
- Client responsibilities: Explain the information, feedback, decisions and approvals the client will need to provide as the project progresses.
- Fees and payment: Present the proposed fee, payment schedule and any relevant expenses or purchasing arrangements after the work has been explained.
- Scope conditions and exclusions: Address revisions, additional work, third-party services, site visits and other circumstances that may sit outside the agreed scope.
- Related projects: Present previous work relevant to the proposed project, helping the client connect your experience with the scope under consideration.

1. When should I send the Fee Proposal?
Send it once you understand the client’s brief and can define the proposed scope and fees. It gives the client a clear picture of the work and working arrangements before they decide whether to proceed.
2. How is it different from an Investment Guide?
An Investment Guide introduces your services, process and indicative investment during the enquiry stage. A Fee Proposal is prepared for a specific client and project, setting out the proposed scope, deliverables, working arrangements and fees.
3. Does the Fee Proposal replace my contract?
No. It helps you present a proposed appointment, but it does not replace a contract or legal advice. Review and adapt the wording, fees, policies and terms to your business and local requirements.
4. Can I adapt it for different projects and services?
Yes. You can edit the wording, add or remove sections, and rearrange the pages to suit the scope of each project. The pre-written text is a starting point for your own services and terms.

Saved me a lot of time, and gives you great structure to build out in your own way
Professionally written fee proposal was a great help with addressing the initial financial matters with our client. Well presented and nicely laid out the document covered all the important content of an initial proposal. Will definitely use again for other projects.

Love the template, so elegant. I found it was a fantastic starting point and so easy to edit and make it work with my style and workflow. I had a query in advance of purchasing and Anne got back to me so promptly. I will definitely explore using more templates from Sonderpath. For reference I use Canva Pro.
