Hourly work

Need something smaller?

Odd jobs, second opinions and "is this wall load-bearing" visits run at $140 per hour, two-hour minimum inside greater Hobart.

If the job grows into a real project, the hourly spend rolls into your quote.

No surprises

How the money
part works

Three rules that keep invoices boring. Boring is the goal.

Line-item quote document next to material samples on a desk
Rule 01

Consult first, always

$220 for 90 minutes. You get honest advice either way, and the fee comes off your project price if you continue.

Rule 02

Fixed quotes, line by line

You approve a number per item, not a lump sum. Nothing moves without a variation note you have signed off.

Rule 03

Milestone payments

30 percent to start, progress payments tied to finished stages, final 10 percent after handover and your walkthrough.

Where the fee goes

Drawings, samples, site time

Joinery elevation drawings spread across a desk
Material samples being compared against a colour board
Designer measuring a kitchen wall on a site visit
Stylist placing cushions during an install day
Questions

Money questions
we hear weekly

Something else on your mind? Call +61 7 3862 4189, a human picks up.

Ask us directly
Why are your prices lower than some Sydney studios?
Overheads. Our studio is in Hobart, not Surry Hills, and we do not keep a showroom full of stock. The fees pay for design time and project management, not rent on a fancy window.
Do you mark up furniture and materials?
Where suppliers give us trade pricing we pass most of it on and keep a transparent procurement fee inside your quote. You see the numbers either way.
What if the project costs more than quoted?
A fixed quote moves only when the scope changes, and scope changes need your signature first. Rotten timber behind a wall is the classic surprise, so we flag risk items in the quote itself.
Can I use my own builder or joiner?
Yes. We hand over the same documentation package either way. If your builder needs drawings in a specific format, tell us at the start and we will match it.
Is the $220 consult really credited back?
Yes, in full, on your first invoice. If you decide not to proceed, you still keep the notes, measurements and advice from the visit.
Do you do payment plans?
Milestone billing is built in on every project. For packages, we can split the fee across design stages, just ask before signing.

your name on it?

Send us the basics and we will come back with consult times. The $220 fee is the only upfront cost, and it comes off the project.
