In order for you to control your investments, Makkadam Design work on an hourly basis. It gives you the flexibility, and versatility for your project. We do not require that you use specific showrooms, or specific contractors. We have vendors and contractors we enjoy working with, and are happy to refer, but we can work with any contractor or supplier you choose. We offer a complimentary consultation for qualified projects, in order for us to meet, walk through your space, and develop a overall plan about how to proceed. Unfortunately, we cannot take on every project that's presented to us. If we are unable to take on your project at that time, we can discuss a better time frame, or we know talented designers we can refer you to.

This meeting will not include major design ideas or suggestions. After our meeting, I will provide a design proposal based on the scope of work, which will include an estimate of hours for each phase.
