Project Time Estimating System
How to Get Paid What You Are Worth

The Interior Designers Guide to Charging Your Clients for Your Time and Creative Ability and Having Happy Clients Pay You.

  • Have you ever missed out on a great new client because you didn’t know how much to charge?
  • Do you ever underestimate how much of your time it would take to do a client’s job so that you ended up feeling resentful and taken advantage of when you were done?
  • Have you ever lost a new client to another designer that charged more than you?
  • Have you ever missed out on a great design job because it was so big and complex that you didn’t know how to charge for it?

The secret to making good money on a design job is actually simple.

I will show you how to quickly, and easily figure out how much to charge your clients for your valuable time.

The Project Time Estimating System Blueprint allows you to quickly and easily and accurately:

  • Project exactly how much time it will take you to complete the Programming, Design Development, Schematic and Project Management Phases of the job
  • Be confident that you can name a fee that will cover your expenses and leave you with a profit
  • Be certain that you have charged for all the design tasks needed to be included in your Letter of Agreement
  • Make sure that you are not leaving “money on the table” that should have been yours
  • Know how much support staff, CAD drafting and consultant time you need to include

The tasks are arranged in the order that we normally use to develop the design phases of a job, to make it easier to assign a specific amount of time to each task.

You will be able to simply assign a time value to each of the 115 listed design tasks in the Programming, Schematic, Design Development and Project Management categories that are likely, necessary or required to complete the job. You may also customize this worksheet and add more tasks if needed.

The Project Time Estimating System helps you capture all the time you spend on a project and turn your lost and unaccounted for time into money in your pocket.
1) The download-able Microsoft Excel version of the Project Time Estimating Worksheet. This allows you to add, at your computer, your projected hours, your rate for your time as well as your CAD and Support Staff hourly costs.
2) A bound 22 page reference book with examples of completed Project Time Estimating System worksheets and a blank worksheet for you to copy and use.
3) A CD explaining in detail how to use the Project Time Estimating Worksheet and tips for leveraging your time so that you can easily and authentically increase your income and have more time to live your life.
4) Because Design Biz Blueprint is dedicated to supporting your success, an important component of this program is the monthly group Question and Answer call.

The benefits of having connection with other designers who own the Project Time Estimating System or Letter of Agreement and personal direct access to Terri to ask questions and get answers are incomparable.

You may use these Q and A sessions to ask business building questions, find out more about how to use the Project Time Estimating System or strategize how to write a Letter of Agreement for a particular job that really gets you what you want. These calls are all about what is happening in your design business right now.Establishing connections with other designers around the country gives you the opportunity to see how others develop their businesses and accomplish their goals with out the feeling of competition that comes from talking with someone in your own community.

One valuable call per month for 6 months is included in the packages when you purchase the Project Time Estimating System, the Letter of Agreement or the Design Business Success Package.
