How fees work

We quote a fixed design fee after a free 20-minute call and, where possible, a look at the space. Half is invoiced to start, half on delivery of the drawing set. Larger projects are split across three stages.

We do not take commission from suppliers. When we buy on your behalf, you see the invoice we paid. Our income comes from the design fee only — which is the only way we can honestly recommend the cheaper cabinet when the cheaper cabinet is better.

  • No hourly billing surprises — hours beyond scope are agreed in writing first
  • No supplier commission or product markup
  • Payment by card, ACH bank transfer or check
  • Written scope, deliverables and schedule in every proposal
