Business documents
Below are a few documents ranging from contracts to material estimates. These were done in HCC’s INDS 2325 Professional Practices for Interior Designers and INDS 1315 Materials, Methods & Estimating, respectively. These classes allowed us to put ourselves in the shoes of working designers and make us think about the legal and financial aspects of interior design.
Business plan
A business plan is a document that can be formatted in a variety of ways but ultimately serves to explain the purpose of a business and how it plans to operate and be successful. This is an example for a fictious interior design studio.
Letter of agreement
The letter of agreement is a contract that where the designer and client agree to the nature of the relationship and the kind of work that will be done throughout the process. It includes the responsibilities of all parties as well as consequences. This is an example with a fictitious client and interior design studio.
Wood Floor estimation
This exercise allows us to understand how much wood floor planks will be used in a room and how to calculate not only how much it will cost, but depending on the layout, how much needs to be ordered.
Drapery estimation
This exercise allows us to understand how much fabric will be used in a room and how to calculate how much it will cost as well as how much needs to be ordered.
