FAQ

Designers in Nice typically charge either a per m² rate for the design phase, a flat forfait for smaller projects, or a percentage (8 to 15 percent) of the total renovation budget for full project management.

No, most quoted design fees cover planning, 3D renderings and supervision only. Furniture, fixtures and construction materials are billed separately, often with a sourcing markup if the designer manages purchasing.

A single room consultation can be completed in a few days, while a full apartment or villa project with plans, sourcing and site supervision usually takes 2 to 6 months depending on complexity.
