But don’t assume that the designer will replace the superintendent. It will only control the implementation process according to the design plan, and make recommendations on controversial issues. By the way, supervision is one of the important points of misunderstanding customers, builders and designers, but that’s a topic for another article.

There is no single list of prices for design work. All calculations are purely individual. As a rule, the cost of the project depends on the size of the room. If the area is small, then it is more difficult to work. And the cost per square meter, respectively, will be higher.
