Calculating an accurate interior design quotation in Kenya is essential for both clients and designers. A well-prepared quotation ensures transparency, avoids unexpected costs, and helps you plan your budget effectively. At Ekron Design Group, we follow a systematic approach to create fair, detailed, and professional interior design quotes tailored to your project needs.

Key Factors in an Interior Design Quotation

When preparing a quotation in Kenya, the following elements are considered:

1. Scope of Work

Define exactly what the project includes. This may involve:

• Full home interior design or partial renovations

• Kitchen, wardrobe, and TV wall design

• Office or commercial space planning

• Custom furniture, lighting, or décor

Clear scope ensures there are no surprises during the project.

2. Design Fees

Interior design fees can be calculated in several ways in Kenya:

• Fixed project fee: A set amount agreed upon before the project starts

• Percentage of project cost: Typically 8–15% of total project expenses

• Hourly rate: Charged per design consultation or drafting hours

The choice depends on the complexity and size of the project.

3. Materials and Finishes

Materials often make up the largest portion of a quotation. Consider:

• Quality of finishes (tiles, wood, paint, laminates)

• Furniture and cabinetry

• Lighting fixtures and accessories

• Custom-made pieces or imported items

At Ekron Design Group, we provide a detailed breakdown of material costs to ensure transparency.

4. Labor Costs

Labor includes installation, carpentry, painting, and other skilled work. Costs vary depending on:

• Project size and complexity

• Skilled versus unskilled labor required

• Duration of the project

5. Additional Costs

Other factors that may affect your quotation include:

• Site visits and measurements

• Transportation of materials

• Contingency funds for unforeseen expenses
