Are you struggling to figure out the best way to charge clients for your design services?

In this episode, I dive into the hotly debated topic of billing methods for interior designers. With so many options—hourly rates, flat fees, square footage models—which one is right for your business?

As someone who primarily does residential remodeling, I found that hourly billing allows me to capture the unknown challenges that often arise on projects. However, I acknowledge that time tracking can be a tedious task. Believing that tracking your time is essential for the health of your design practice, I share practical tips on using time-tracking software like Harvest to streamline your process.

I also explore alternative billing models like fixed fees and cost-plus, explaining when those approaches may be appropriate.

Regardless of your chosen billing method, tracking your time is a critical business expense that will provide invaluable data to improve your profitability.

If you're ready to take control of your design fees and ensure you are getting paid for every minute of your hard work, tune in now. This episode might be the solution you have been searching for.
