Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many interior designers have made the grave mistake of not having a signed pact between them and their clients before the commencement of an interior design project. If it is an innocent omission, that is a bit pardonable. We are so excited about getting the job, we forget that this is a business and not a hobby and should, therefore, be approached as such.You must never start an interior design project without a written and signed contract agreement. It is important for your business. Any professional designer that feels this is not necessary, doesn't know the import of his/her dismissive decision and because of this attitude, many have learned the hard way.A simple but well-drafted interior design contract agreement will serve you well. It doesn't have to come with dozens of unnecessarily long and boring clauses, but rather, must have the most relevant ones for the interior design profession. So, which clauses should be stated in clear terms? This book, "Important Clauses to Add to An Interior Design Contract Agreement" will show you all you need. You will find that each clause is both protective and binding, so, if there is a misunderstanding or disagreement between you and your client somewhere along the way, you can both refer back to the letter of agreement. As long as everything is spelt out in clear terms and both parties have signed it, you as the designer cannot be held legally responsible.

This book was released on 2020-06-07 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a professional interior designer, before you begin work on any interior design project, you must think carefully about every possible situation that might crop up and affect the progress of your work. The only way to avoid nasty situations and dissatisfaction is by clearly, in a letter of agreement, stating out your responsibilities as a designer, what is expected of your client, and how you are to going to successfully fulfil each of the expectations. Having a clearly written contractual agreement is not only valuable, it will, most importantly, protect your rights as a designer. Having a signed agreement will prevent unnecessary rancour and/or miscommunication and at the same time, protect you from delays, unwarranted requests, or higher-than-paid-for expectations. This book "Important Clauses to Add to An Interior Design Contract Agreement - Significance of Signed Pacts Between Interior Designers and Clients" points out the important clauses that you must clearly state in an interior design agreement. And let's face it, interior designers do face potential liabilities. If you have ever been in doubt about the importance of contract agreements and what clauses are vital to add, this book explains what is required and why. Some of these clauses protects not only you as a designer, but also your client as well. So, in the event that there is disagreement or dispute between both parties, a formal letter of agreement becomes the saving grace. And as long as everything is spelt out in clear terms and both parties have signed it, you cannot be held legally responsible for any action or inaction.
