usually, how u guys charge a customer for your ID consultant? for me, i think i want to hire a trainee/student in ID only coz i have all the concept in my mind.. it is just i need second opinion bout it and accurate measurement.

ID concept includes: Mood Board, Space planing ( Plan ) measurement & details drawing, sectional drawings,
Elevation Drawings, Proposed material , 3D drawings ( about 6pcs)

Interior design is as important as architect, especially if you are having a major renovation that includes hacking, M&E and etc. An experienced ID person will charge RM5 -RM8 per sq ft. Of the built up property. My friend charges RM10-RM15 per sq ft because of establishment and previous project. But I heard that at home deco fair , someone quoted 2K for a 2000 sq ft. End terrace house. I have my doubt on that pricing, may is just a plan and a few 3D drawings. But hey is a personal choice.

OH MY!!! so expensive... i thot the service depends on what area that we need ID advice....huhuhuuh

Client will engage an Interior Designer for design and concept for whole house. There are also landscape designer for garden. Alot of people still think that an ID person is just decorating or furnishing. Without ID , a house, buildings, shopping mall cannot be built. An architect is not going to draw any details, space planing, plugs or sockets in a building.

LOL....I studied in UK for 4 years spending almost RM400K for Uni fees, building models, accommodation and food. That is very expensive as well, Obviously I'm gonna charge based on my capability and experience.

If is so expensive for you, i've mention some people only charge 2K for a 2000sq ft house at home fairs. You shall look for them.

Cheers

ID adrien, if you persevere and hang around here long enough and get good referalls from forum members like zheilwane and Erny Looi, they you will be "the" main ID guy in this forum.

might as well get an architect; who will just settled all for you. include project management.

location? if penang i have a good one for you. price a lil steep though, but top notch design, especially contemporary ones. dad used him for our home.

Thanks Phoenix . Yes I'm pretty new in here but 10 years in this field both in UK and KL. I did get a project from here and client is very happy but I'm not sure I'm the right person asking him to recommend, maybe I should lol.

Cheers

Well, some ID even charge none if you get the ID to done the job for you.

I don't charge for ID when there's build involve but there will be deposit.

all the id designs (interiors) i have seen in Malaysia so far is complicated, not imaginative with hiding air con units, exhaust fans in rooms and bathrooms and kitchen. it lets the whole interior design down. where is the innovation? i will post some photos after my renovation to show some new concepts.

if you want innovation? it easy, set a standard thru the game field. Like what are the best practices in Malaysia. Like some designer`s are very awesomely good in the 3Ds on paper, but seriously poor when come to the real ID details & how to do it more creatively. Dont you think?

some even have poor understanding of good ventilation & good lighting in a room & good flow`s. This isnt include the feng shui`s basic that generally easy to cover.

Just let you know how roughly design-ed are done, isnt it very duplicate aka copy? Some houses did this design so n so, client also want such but always say; must be better that the reference one understanding their needs. isnt it?

I`m open to those ID`s to talk it out; what is going on with your ID`s field that so expensive yet practicality not there.

Surprisingly, i use very little feng shui when designing. Only pay attention to the very obvious like a good looking front door - strong welcoming ect. or beds not parallel to toilet doors. Otherwise, the way i interpret is like this: does it look cheap, is it ugly, is it garish, does it look good in daylight and in the evening when the lights are on, has it got good lines, does it look cluttered, too many colors........ does it feel uncomfortable Too many times people take a design from somewhere but it does not blend into the rest of the environment. Flows are very important and very hard to get right if you don't understand the client's lifestyle or needs. Yet many IDs are so insistent on giving you their design based on your budget and they don't know how you live. I travel a lot, yet not any of the IDs i met have asked me about suitcase stowage space for my flat, just to prove my point that IDs push their own ideas. One ID even started to tell me that my large windows were cheap quality and needs changing. I could only reply that if it is, there are no water marks aound the walls eventhough it has been empty for two years. I am sure there are good IDs out there but the three I have met so far leaves a lot to be desired.

the problem with ideas is that; its a idea that wasnt from them or they do pioneer-ed it- asean design.

like minimalist living, bali living, asian living.. so forth, some are really to the themed. So you can see most now took their niche from singapore interior`s design- aka square room n apply it locally. UK/Western doesnt work; cos material isnt like what they have or as good & even limited budget/material palette.

feng shui dont play a big role; but it has it own logic if you read about it like circulation movement, energy n stuffs..

but locally, i`m wondering what are ID`s really do? besides consulting & lots of dream about 3Ds.

actually, all is about Cost, not to say cant do, just willing to pay or not.

Added on June 11, 2012, 12:05 amwhat ID really do? hmm, basicly just like, what chef doing. You can buy all the food material in market, you can get recipe in book store, you can even cook it at home, but there is still lot of restaurant out there. Why? obviously, there is lot of reason, some hv no time to cook, some not expert in cook, some even reading a recipe to cook but still not able to get what they want to eat, some even want to try something new that cant find in recipe book.

Can hv clear picture now? sorry if i use the wrong example ^^

hahaha eleganz concept, you are right! good say!

If you are still interested on comparing, you may PM me.

thanks

For me, just surf the net for interior design photos that you like, copy it and ask the contractor/manufacturer to follow exactly. Save $. Don't mind using cheaper material or similar products.

When you browse those interior design magazines, don't you have a feeling, "Hmmm...saw it somewhere before"? For example this black bar stool, how many of you have seen it featured in an interior design mag? Aiyoh, I have seen it so many time I want to vomit.

Hello all fresh ID grads/ stud

I just bought a semi D and in need of professional concept and opinion, so if you think youre up to it please pm me

hi,
do you mind to give me the contact for a good & reliable ID?

ID design base on size of the unit:-

From experience and data gathering from a group of people:

1) If purely design based on measurement
Corporate Price: FOC to RM2 per square feet.
Freelance: RM1000-2000 per project, or up to RM2 per sqft (some higher price as their customer do not know that ID don't earn money only on design)

2) If design + project mgmt (ensuring contractor deliver up to the quality)
Corporate price: RM5-15 per squarefeet. (Usually below 1000 sqft = RM10-15sqft, 1000-2000 = 8-12 per sqft, 3000 and above (RM5-10)
Freelance: Usually charge RM2k to 20 k per project...

You are paying a professional pricing.

5-8 is house interior i believe.
Actually the rate is high due to they do the entire modeling for you.
Usually for house, except extreme rich guy, majority just need a architecture modelling, do not need in and out of everything. so the rate is much cheaper, that's how those contractor company do

PM me for a free ID/architecture consultation.

Free ID usually come with renovation company, after you commit certain thing like extension or etc.
Don't aspect people draw for you for free and runaway.

Something like this:- http://www.interior.my/idmarket/316-design...omo-free-design

If you confirmed your renovation, most of the people can design for you FOC.

but some Mr nice guy give free consultation also geh...
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2254059/all
diavega - offer free ID consultation in past...

You can try your luck.

If you do not want to waste big money, go to a proper renovation company, and confirmed quote it, and request for free ID.

Hi I do designing ID for a cheap rate (lumpsum) as part of a side business thingy. Personally i am an engineer from the oil and gas.

PM me if interested.

Just go to https://atap.co/malaysia/en/projects

browse projects base on your flavor, review the displayed budget, then call the frickin designer u think has a grasp of the retard concept ure looking for.

Hi, i'm freelance designer, if you are still looking for ID kindly whatsapp me (019 2242328) for further info. Thanks.

Use Atap.co, the site has a super large list of Malaysian IDs... You can view interior design ideas (https://atap.co/malaysia/en/ideas) then see which designer you like.

If you want a few designers to quote you based on what you want, send a quote request (https://atap.co/malaysia/en/quotes). Then a few designers will contact you and you can choose the best/cheapest.

I like it cause you don't have to pay anything or search the net on your own. You might not find the smaller ones or the ones in your area if you do this.

Take a look at GetIDonline, we provide trusted and affordable interior design remotely

can anyone give your opinion on the below terms based on your understanding? In what conditions the deposit is not refundable?

“Refundable if we are appointed as the main contractor for all construction scopes only and will be refunded only after the renovation deposit is received”

In what conditions the deposit is not refundable?
1) if they are not appointed as the main contractor
2) if they have not receive the renovation deposit.
My interpretation solely rely on the phrase.

Yes, that is my understanding as well, but it is not.
The phrase is stated in the design fee quotation.
Deposit has been paid before design/3D drawing.
After 3D drawing, I appointed him as main contractor.
At the final stage of reno, he said the deposit is not refundable. He said “The refund of the design fee will only be eligible if we were appointed as main contractor for all scopes from A-Z including furniture purchase, curtain, bed frame etc. Only sofa and bed I use back my existing one, fan I purchased, curtain I engage curtain maker before the project and already inform him during the 1st meeting, and he accepted but verbal only.
So I am wondering is this common in the Interior Design and Build world.

Did your main contractor has b&w written quotation stated with t&c " The refund of the design fee will only be eligible if we were appointed as main contractor for all scopes " as he said to you.

if no b&w, it will be hard for you to argue with him.

Only below is written in the quotation t&c.
“Refundable if we are appointed as the main contractor for all construction scopes only and will be refunded only after the renovation deposit is received”

Never mentioned all construction scopes means A-Z include furniture, curtain and so on. All the structural works, flooring, ceiling, painting, glass&aluminium, m&e, aircon and carpentry for the whole unit was done by him, although I know some of the items he charge much higher than market, plus paying project management fee, yet still considered not all scope, so speechless and no point arguing, I will pay anyhow. Learn a lesson.

That's the definition of " all construction scopes " makes the argument then.

Most design and build firms will separate design fee and the construction quotation, they will ask for upfront fee for design drawings

Whether they will return these design fee for client is depend on their company policy, some of them will return or deduct the design fee from the total construction cost when you decide to appoint them for construction as per their quotation.

Some of company will not deduct the design fee even if you appoint them for construction works later part.

Yet your main contractor ask for deposit, is this deposit is part of the construction cost or as a design fee?

This you will need to clarify with him upfront before they actually start the design process.

Yes, it was design fee, but he said will be used for construction works if we appoint him, design fee will be waived, verbally. Now project going to end, he said refund not eligible.

I would say the scope of work of main contractor shall confine to what he has designed during the design stage.

This is a painful lesson learnt. Construction to my understanding should only cover the activity of constructing every single piece of an object on his own, not purchasing a ready made object.

It is quite common for ID designer to design loose furniture too

Hi there, has anyone engaged furmingo interior design? Aay review on this ID firm?

Thanks!

apologise if my word offended anyone here.
Nothing is easy, collect design fees always compulsory because we sometimes rushing or sleepless night to draw complete the drawings 2D and 3D solution for the client ( but if you source out the designer has hidden charge, Always don’t engage him/her ). Designer must and always clarify the design step to client before the projects start ( to avoid any miss understanding between 2 parties )
I don’t know others, for our term if confirm quotation renovation or cabinetry exceed the price, we always absorb out before getting start ( the fees was show in quotation ) I think this way is much fair to the client and designer.

Yes, different ID charge with different payment terms.

You can approach a design and build firms to provide you the home design drawings. normally they will request for up front deposit for their design proposal.

Some of them will return the deposit to you if awarding them on construction works after you see their design.

Yet if you decide not to let them do construction may be due to their expensive renovation quotation, you won't get back the early deposit mostly.

the deposit request early by these ID firms is actually for them to pay for their in house designer salary or their regular freelance designers to produce the design proposal. Without being awarded for construction works base on their submit renovation quotation, there is no way for them to return the deposit and provide free ID drawings for public

I know this is an old thread but I just want to point out...

RM400k studying in UK don't mean jack SHIT.... RM400k ain't even your tuition fee but includes your cost of living... if you live in a more luxurious student accommodation... go on Europe trips.... eat expensive food in the UK just because you don't want to cook or work park time... it doesn't contribute jack shit to why you are worth what you say you are worth...


Also... the cost of ID degree is the same as any other 3-4 years degree courses.... you aren't studying in the medical field or pilot my friend...


So does that mean every graduate in Malaysia should start asking for at least RM4k for 1 day of work from employers then???

If you say you are a world renowned ID with awards and recognition... yea sure... maybe you are worth what you say you are worth...

But the cost of your degree and your living expenses for studying in the UK as reasons for your worthiness??? What a ridiculous way to justify your ID fees...
