Estimating for Interior DesignersEvery interior designer must estimate costs for fabric and other materials. However, poor estimating puts many good designers out of business either because they do not calculate the right amount of material needed or they do not understand the scheduling for specifying the material, getting it in, getting it to the shop and getting into finished products. This book attempts to provide a sensible guide that can be followed by designers and is supplemented by drawings, photographs and charts. Included are chapters on estimating for bedcoverings, carpeting, drapery, tablecloths, paint, wallpapers and upholstery. The information in this book can make the difference between success and failure in the interior design profession. |
