Notes & Terms
Stone, Tile & Finishes
Stone, tile, vanities, fixtures, hardware, and all finish materials are not included in Phase 1 construction pricing. All finishes and furnishings are sourced through Sparrow & Aire Studio and will be presented to you with pricing for approval before any purchase is placed. No order is placed without your written approval and payment.
Designer Sourcing Policy
All finishes, furnishings and materials coordinated through Designer's design process must be purchased through Designer. If you independently purchase a product that was recommended, specified, approved, or coordinated by Designer, a design coordination fee of 20% of your purchase price applies: this reflects the design intent, research and approval process that informed the selection regardless of where the final purchase is made.
Revisions
Two rounds of revisions are included per room after design concept, renders and drawings have been submitted. A revision is defined as one consolidated set of feedback per round. Revisions that materially change the original design direction are considered a redesign and billed at $125/hr.
Client Assets Required
To begin design work, the following must be provided within 48 hours of signing: existing floor plans for all zones and inspiration references per room (minimum 3–5 images per space). Delays in providing assets will impact the design delivery timeline.
Flooring
$13,500–$17,000 includes installation and full baseboard replacement throughout the entire home. Final price depends on material selections. Strongly recommended in Phase 1 to avoid disruption after furnishings are placed.
Wardrobe / Closet Build
$8,500–$12,000 is a preliminary estimate. Final scope and pricing subject to field measurements and material selections confirmed on site prior to commencement.
Permitting
All construction is executed to current city code standards by licensed contractors regardless of permit status. Should you elect to permit this project, all permit fees, plan check fees and inspection fees are your direct financial responsibility: paid by you directly to the city. Designer does not advance permit costs. Designer is not responsible for code compliance determinations or regulatory approvals.
Payment Terms
All invoices are due upon receipt. Late payments are subject to a 12% annual interest charge after 30 days. Designer reserves the right to pause services and withhold deliverables until the account is current. No product orders are placed before payment is received.
Phase 2 & Phase 3
Phase 2 and Phase 3 are separate scopes requiring separate agreements and deposits. Pricing for each phase will be presented upon completion of the preceding phase. Interior design services for all phases are covered under the full home interior design agreement.
Design Process & Payment Flow
A clear picture of how we work together: from first concept to final installation. Each phase has its own deliverables and billing structure so there are never any surprises.

How We Stay Aligned: Project Communication Protocol
This protocol is referenced in the project agreement and shared with all trades at kickoff. It is how we keep every phase of your renovation on schedule and on budget.
◷
Weekly Client Check-In
One 30-minute call per week during active construction phases: plus ad hoc calls as needed when decisions or issues arise between scheduled check-ins.
Weekly · Direction & Decisions Ad Hoc · As Needed01
Kickoff & Contact Setup
At kickoff, all relevant contacts: GC, trades, vendors: are formally introduced to Kimberly as the scheduling and coordination point of contact. This is documented in the project agreement and communicated in writing to all parties.
02
Weekly Client Check-In
One structured 30-minute call per week covers what was completed, what is behind, and what decisions are needed before the following week begins. A written summary is sent after every call. Ad hoc calls are available as needed between check-ins when time-sensitive decisions or issues arise.
03
Monday Trade Confirmation
Every Monday, Kimberly sends text confirmation to each trade scheduled for that week. No response within 4 hours triggers an immediate escalation to the GC. You are never in a position where a trade simply does not show up without notice.
04
48-Hour Callback
48 hours before any scheduled install or delivery, Kimberly calls to reconfirm. If a trade cancels at this point there is still time to adjust sequencing or find a replacement: protecting your timeline from last-minute disruption.
05
Same-Day Site Log
Every site visit is logged with timestamp, photos, and a written summary of what was observed. This creates a documented record of progress, contractor performance, and any issues that arise: shared with you in your weekly status report.
06
Escalation Protocol
Any no-show, significant delay, or quality issue is documented and communicated to you immediately: not at the end of the week. The GC is responsible for resolution. Kimberly communicates the timeline impact and the required next steps clearly and in writing.
07
Friday Status Report
Every Friday a concise written summary is sent covering: what was completed this week, what is behind and why, what decisions are needed before Monday, and what is scheduled for the following week. You always know exactly where your project stands.
Trade coordination, scheduling, site logging, and client check-ins are all billable PM time at $125/hr: not absorbed into the design fee. All hours are tracked and reported bi-weekly so you always see exactly what you are being billed for.
