Atelier 77 | Interior Design Fee Proposal Template

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.
