Design Project Q&A: Experts Help Clarify Your Ideas | Free Consultation

WHY DESIGN WHEN BUILDERS WILL GIVE ALL THE ADVICE?
Builders love to say they will consider any client's request. This should be taken literally: they will do exactly what you say. Renovations require making hundreds of micro-decisions. A regular person is not expected to know what’s best for them. A designer is needed to provide independent professional recommendations on these micro-decisions. Remember, "Free design project" from builders usually considers their interests :) So, keep your best interests in mind.

WHY THINK OF EVERY DETAIL IN ADVANCE BEFORE THE RENOVATION? CAN'T WE DECIDE DURING THE PROCESS?
If you remember something during the renovation, the crew will likely demand extra money, depending on the renovation stage. An independent designer will create a project without ambiguities that could be interpreted against your interests. If you arrange furniture spontaneously, up to one-third of the living area might become non-functional. Essentially, you’ll end up wasting 5-15 square meters. A well-thought-out project from the start saves money and stress.

WHO ARE THE DESIGNERS WORKING WITH YOU?
At planirovki.by, we don't have random people. Designers are the heart of our project. We thoroughly vet the skills of each specialist. Our designers regularly pursue further education, attending industry-specific exhibitions and seminars. They are high-class professionals who are passionate about their work.

I HAVE A COTTAGE. IS IT CONSIDERED A MULTI-ROOM APARTMENT?
No, cottages and country houses require a personalized approach. Contact us by phone or request a callback. We will discuss your project and calculate its cost.

I HAVE A LIMITED BUDGET FOR FURNITURE AND DECOR. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Before starting the project, you specify how much you are willing to spend on outfitting your home. The designer will select furniture and decor based on your budget and propose the best solution in terms of price and quality. Plus, stores that are part of the planirovki.by club will offer you discounts and special deals.

ARE BATHROOMS, TOILETS, CORRIDORS, AND OTHER SPACES CONSIDERED SEPARATE ROOMS?
- Any type of bathroom is charged as one room.
- Corridor is charged as one room.
- Combined kitchen and living room are charged as two separate rooms.

WHY DO YOU SELL DESIGN PROJECTS PER ROOM?
We have analyzed the work stages of designers and clients and confidently say that the most efficient way is to work sequentially, room by room. We don't want to limit your desires and are happy to create the dream interior for a single room or the entire apartment! Therefore, we offer flexible tariff options for any space and the ability to order all rooms at once.

WHAT IS DESIGN SUPERVISION, AND IS IT NECESSARY?
Design supervision is when the specialist who developed the design project for an apartment oversees its precise implementation. While this oversight may not be critical for standard projects, it becomes indispensable for more complex ones.

CAN THE ESTIMATED COST CHANGE DURING THE APARTMENT RENOVATION?
The estimated cost can only change if the client decides to add or remove something from the initial plan. In all other cases, the estimated cost remains static.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO REDUCE THE COST OF RENOVATION?
You can reduce the renovation cost by decreasing the scope of work or opting for a "turnkey" service, as comprehensive packages generally come at a lower price.
