Discover the #1 Mistake Interior Designers Make When Pricing Construction Projects...
(Hint: Your talent isn’t the problem — your pricing model is)
How to Price Construction Projects
(When You’re More Than Just the Designer)
A live workshop for interior designers who are tired of undercharging for the construction work they’re already doing.
Accept the Shift
You’ve been handling construction decisions, site visits, and trade coordination — often without calling it what it is: construction management. This workshop will shift how you think about that role, and how you charge for it.

Thursday, May 8 at 12:30pm EST
Live on Zoom – replay available for all ticket holders, available until May 19th
The End Result

This Workshop Is For
Interior designers who are already managing construction decisions — even if they don’t realize it yet. Whether you’re new to renovation work or knee-deep in it, this will help you finally charge what it’s worth.

Transform the Way You Price Construction Work
Think decorating based formulas or construction cost percentages are the industry standard?
If they’re not working for you, there’s a reason — and this workshop will show you why square footage rates and construction-based percentages rarely hold up, and what to do instead.
You’ll learn how to ditch the guesswork, stop relying on vague pricing models, and finally understand how to build a fee that reflects your expertise, your role, and the true demands of the job.
This isn’t about raising your rates for the sake of it — it’s about:
-
Charging based on a real, defined scope
-
Understanding the role you’ll play in each phase of the construction process
-
Factoring in the expectations and level of support your client will need
You’ll leave with a smarter, more strategic approach to pricing — one that supports your profitability and strengthens your value on every project.
This Is For You If...
✔ You’ve been managing construction projects for a while — but you’re still feeling underpaid or losing money on the work.
✔ You’re constantly asked about lighting, tile layout, framing, or other jobsite decisions — but you’re not getting paid for that input.
✔ You’re starting to take on renovation work and want to avoid undercharging — or worse, figuring it out after you’ve already lost money.
✔ You’ve tried using square footage rates or percentages — but somehow you’re always spending more time than you’re getting paid for.
✔ You’ve spent way too much time on jobsite questions, last-minute decisions, and juggling trades — with nothing on the invoice to show for it.
If any of that sounds like you, your pricing probably doesn’t match the amount of work you're actually doing — whether you’re rolling it into your design fee or breaking it out and still undercharging.
You deserve to get paid for the real work you’re doing — and this workshop will show you how.
Your Workshop Experience Includes
This isn’t fluff. This is a deep dive into how to price your construction projects for real — without formulas that don’t work or fee structures that leave you upside down.

A 90-Minute Live Workshop
Learn how to confidently price your construction work — without second guessing or undercharging.
Straight talk and examples that walk you through building a profitable flat fee — one that matches your scope, your role, and the reality of the job.
Build Your Number Workbook
You know what you’re worth — now charge like it.

You’re not sure if this is the right time or if this workshop is really for you?
Let’s clear up a few questions that might be running through your head.
What if I can’t make it live?
No problem — you’ll get access to the replay. Whether you're General Admission or VIP, you'll be able to watch the full workshop (and Q&A!), available until May 19th.
VIPs that can't join live can also submit their questions ahead of time and still hear the answers in the replay.
I’ve taken pricing webinars before. How is this different?
Most pricing trainings are built around decorating — square footage formulas, flat-fee templates, or % of construction pricing.
But construction is a whole different beast.
This workshop is designed specifically for renovation and construction projects — where scope creep, unclear roles, and time drains eat into your profits. You'll learn how to price for the real work you're doing, not just the design.
Why doesn’t my decorating pricing work for construction projects?
Because the work is fundamentally different — and so is what you’re responsible for.
Construction pricing has to reflect your role on the team, the phases you're involved in, and how tight your scope of work actually is.
This workshop breaks that down and gives you a method you can actually use — no vague formulas, no ballpark guessing….hoping it’s right!
What if I don’t offer construction services?
If you're only working on decorating projects, this may not be the right fit.
But if you've ever helped with a bathroom or kitchen refresh, advised on millwork, or coordinated trades, or been looped into contractor calls — you’re already doing construction management.
This workshop helps you get paid for it.
Do I have to come on camera for the VIP Q&A?
If you're asking a question live, yes — you'll need to come on camera. But don’t worry, this isn’t about being polished. This is real, working designer conversation — the kind that leads to better answers because we can actually talk it through.
Showing up live creates a richer experience for you — it allows us to go deeper, follow up, and tailor the answer to your exact situation.
Can’t be there live? You can still submit your questions in advance and hear the response in the replay, available until May 19th.
I Built This Workshop Because I Was You
I’m Renée — a luxury interior designer with over 30 years of experience, specializing in construction management.
I’ve priced construction projects every wrong way you can imagine — rolled it into my design fee, undercharged hourly, used square footage, tried percentages. I’ve made every mistake (more than once), and I’ll tell you exactly how and why they didn’t work.
I came up through high-end firms, trained in beautiful spaces and exacting standards — but no one ever taught me how to price the real work I was doing on construction jobs. They taught me how to design. And to bill hourly. That was it.
So I guessed. I applied what I knew from decorating. And then hoped the client would understand how involved I really was.
They didn’t. And that’s not their fault — that was on me.
Eventually, I built a system that matched the scope, role, and responsibility I had on these projects. One that protected my time, my profitability, and my client relationships. It’s the same system I use today — and the one this workshop is built on.
Adding construction management to your business changes everything. It keeps clients coming back. It keeps income steady between decorating jobs. It turns you into a one-stop shop. And it gives you the chance to really understand your clients so each project builds on the last.
But here’s the catch: if you don’t price it correctly, it’s not sustainable. You’ll either burn out or fall short — financially or professionally.
That’s why I created this workshop: to help you not just take on construction work, but actually profit from it. To shift how you think about your role, your value, and your fees — so that when you say yes to these projects, it’s with full confidence.
Because when you know your pricing works, everything else gets easier — and way more fun.
So, How Does This Work?
You sign up. You show up. And then… something shifts.
Not because this training is flashy. But because for the first time, pricing your construction work actually makes sense.
You’ll see where the hours go — and why flat fees fall apart when scope and roles aren’t defined. You’ll also see why hourly pricing feels safer — but usually backfires when you’re stuck justifying time instead of leading the project. You’ll stop guessing, hoping, or trying to reverse-engineer someone else’s pricing. You’ll start building your own.
This isn’t theory — it’s the exact system I use on my own projects. One that works whether the job is simple or sprawling. One that’s backed by strategy and clarity.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a pricing method that feels solid. A pricing process you understand, can defend, and actually feel good about.
That’s what changes everything.
So, How Can You Get Started?
This is the most accessible way to experience my pricing method live — a live, hands-on session where I’ll teach you how I price construction projects profitably and with confidence.
This workshop is your chance to learn a system that works — whether you're just getting into renovation work or you've been managing projects for years but still feel like your fees fall short.
And I’m offering it for less than many designers charge for a single consultation.
Here are your two options:

What Do You Have to Lose?
If you’ve made it this far, you already know something’s not working with how you’re pricing construction.
You’ve felt the frustration of spending hours on jobsite questions and issues you didn’t plan for.
You’ve wondered if your fee was too low — again.
You’ve struggled to explain the value behind your fee — because it’s hard to justify a number when you haven’t clearly priced what you actually do.
This workshop is the moment that changes.
It’s not a magic formula — it’s a proven system built on experience, mistakes, and years of fine-tuning. And it’s designed to help you price with clarity, confidence, and no regrets.
You don’t need to overhaul your whole business.
You just need a better way to price the work you’re already doing.
Let’s fix that — together.
The Way I See It, You Have 3 Options…
Option 1:
Do nothing and keep pricing the way you always have
If you’re consistently profitable, confident in your fees, and never second-guess your construction estimates, maybe you don’t need this workshop.
But if you’ve ever wondered if you’re undercharging — or you just want a better system — there’s a better way.
Option 2:
Keep trying to figure it out on your own
You can keep tweaking your pricing, downloading mini-courses, or piecing together advice from group threads — even when you have no idea who’s answering or how much experience they actually have.
You could try to hire someone who says they know how to price it — and hope they deliver. But if you don’t fully understand it yourself, how will you know if they’re doing it right? And even if it works, you’re now adding overhead to fix something that could be solved with a better foundation.
It might work eventually. But chances are, it’ll cost you more time, more money, and a few more underpaid projects.
Option 3:
Let this be the turning point
You’ll begin pricing the way you actually work.
You’ll implement what you learn faster than you think.
All you need to do is show up — ready to get paid like the pro you already are.
There are designers who talk about wanting to be more profitable — and those who take the steps to make it happen.
Most say they want to charge more confidently and build a business that actually supports the life they want.
But we both know — very few actually make it happen.
Some will keep waiting for the "right time." Some will keep tweaking, hoping the numbers work out next time. But a few will make the decision to lead — and price like it.
If you’ve made it this far, I think you’re one of the few.
