DESIGNSPINE QUOTE
Quote Your Design Projects With Confidence
Scope, estimate, and manage the business behind every residential or commercial design project—with greater clarity and confidence.
The Work You Miss In the Estimate Becomes the Work You Do for Free
Interior design projects contain hours that are easy to overlook when you first build the quote. Revisions, sourcing, client communication, contractor coordination, project management, procurement, troubleshooting, installation preparation, styling, and follow-up can disappear inside what looks like a straightforward scope.
When the project requires more time than you quoted, you face an uncomfortable choice: increase the client’s bill or absorb the difference yourself. Because you care about the client experience and want to honor your proposal, you often end up working beyond the estimate without getting paid for it.
But those hours do not disappear from the project. Your team still has to do the work.
A project that began with excitement becomes one you cannot wait to finish.
Great Client Service Should Not Cost You Your Profitability
Make the Invisible Work Visible Before You Quote It
-
Surface the rooms, selections, deliverables, design phases, coordination, procurement, installation, and supporting tasks your team may need to complete.
-
Turn the project scope and complexity into estimated hours and fees using your firm’s roles, rates, buffers, and professional judgment.
-
Build a stronger proposal that accounts for more of the labor behind the design—helping you protect your margin without compromising the client experience.
A Stronger Estimate in Three Steps
-
Add the rooms, scope, complexity, client requirements, and project details. Start with what you already have, including consultation notes, transcripts, questionnaires, plans, or a voice recap.
-
DesignSpine Quote helps identify the design work and supporting activities that may be required across each phase of the project, including work that is easy to overlook during estimating.
-
Review the estimate, adjust the assumptions using your firm’s expertise, and turn the approved scope and hours into a stronger client proposal.
