Design Project

What a design project includes, stages, cost, and when it pays off

Sections

  • What a project includes

    Measurements, layouts (2–3 options), 3D renders, drawings: demolition, wiring, plumbing, floors, ceilings, wall elevations, material spec.

  • Work stages

    Brief → measurement → layout → visualization → working docs → author's supervision. Timeline: 3–8 weeks for an apartment.

  • Cost

    Layout+renders package ~300–800 UAH/m²; full project 800–1500 UAH/m²; supervision separate (1–2 visits/week).

  • DIY alternative

    Planner 5D, RoomSketcher, SketchUp — enough for layout and colours. Working drawings for the crew can be ordered separately from a foreman.

  • When it pays off

    Area 60+ m², replanning, expensive finishing, built-in furniture/appliances. A project saves 10–15% of budget via exact specifications.

Even a minimal project (layout + wiring) eliminates 80% of crew mistakes.
