Factors Influencing Project Timelines
1. Client Approvals: Such activities as delays in the approval of designs or selection and procurement of materials can eat into the project timeline.
2. Complexity of Design: Custom or intricate patterns may require a longer period for production and appropriate inspections.
3. Material Availability: This aspect can also directly affect the time frame due to the limited availability of certain materials.
Therefore space constraints or pre-existing issues might effect the installation phase.
Important Note
These timelines are not definitive but rather approximately based and can vary according to specific demands of the project. For modular furniture, our team guarantees updates along with the coordination from design through installation. We can present a clear and feasible timeline during the first consultation specifically tailored to your project.
2.Interior Design Service Costs: A Variable Approach
At Kalky Interior, we recognize that each interior design project is distinct, with its own set of requirements and circumstances. As a result, our service costs are customized to meet the specific needs of each project. Here’s a look at the factors that influence our pricing:
Key Cost Determinants:
Scope of Work: The complexity and scale of the design project, including the number of rooms or areas involved.
Material Specifications: Costs can be significantly impacted by the kind, caliber, and quantity of materials selected for the project.
Working Circumstances: Unexpected site conditions, logistical issues, or changes in the project’s scope may influence our pricing.
Area (Square Footage): As you noted, the size of the space is a significant factor in determining costs. For instance:
A 2BHK flat with an area of 800 sq. ft. will typically be less expensive than a similar 2BHK flat with an area of 1200 sq. ft.
Pricing Structure (Estimated Ranges):
Material and Product Procurement: Costs associated with furniture, fixtures, materials, and other specified products.
