How Accent Design Works
|
Stage 1: Initial consultation |
This first meeting is free of charge to clients living within a 15 km. radius of Avalon. It is an opportunity for you:
- to view our portfolio and pose any questions you may have
- to discuss your ideas and budget and the different levels of involvement we offer
- to get a feel for your lifestyle and preferences
- to measure your space and take some reference photos
We will then write to you with a full proposal and a Letter of Appointment which will outline the services and terms of business to be offered by Accent Design, to set out the scope of the project and the responsibilities of Accent Design and you, the client.
If you wish to proceed we ask you to return a signed copy of the Letter of Appointment together with a deposit of 40% of the agreed fee. As a guide, a design scheme for a standard room would typically cost approximately $1,200.00, with any further work being charged at $120.00 per hour. However, all projects will be priced on an individual basis.

Stage 2: Design development |
This involves:
- gaining a greater understanding of your likes and dislikes
- a perusal of our image library or possibly a reconnaissance shopping trip together to develop early ideas
- developing two initial design concepts
- presenting our ideas for discussion and comment
- developing the design concept you have selected to completion
|
Stage 3: The Design |
The final design concept comprises:
- full floor plans and elevations
- complete sample boards
- full details of all furniture and fabrics suggested by us to complete the scheme
|
Stage 4: Implementation/Project Management |
If you choose, we can implement the scheme on your behalf. We provide a full procurement service for items specified in our design scheme. We charge a flat fee for this service which is determined by the scope of the project.We will liaise with all the relevant suppliers on your behalf and co-ordinate deliveries and installations for your convenience. We can, in some instances, negotiate discounts on key items which usually offsets our handling fee..
Where projects require the involvement of other contractors, we are also able to provide a project management service including the production of a schedule of works, sourcing relevant contractors and overseeing all works and installation. We normally charge 10% of the project value for this service.
