Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)

Interior designers, specifically corporate interior designers, create interiors for professional workspaces. From small offices to large facilities, they focus on designing efficient, functional, and aesthetic spaces for their clients.

The cost of hiring an interior design team depends on the project itself. Our team bases our pricing on the type of work being done. For example, a project where we are redesigning a 10,000 sq. ft. office would cost more than a project where we are helping to identify the perfect workstations for your employees.

One important factor when selecting an interior design team is understanding your budget for the project. Having realistic expectations and communicating those effectively helps the project run smoothly.

Another important factor is experience within the industry. The HF Planners team has over 20 years of experience, enabling us to understand your challenges and provide expertly-honed, proven processes and solutions to save you time and money.

It’s essential to have a design team that understands the workspace and integrates themselves as part of your team to give you a space that suits your needs. A great interior design team can provide a layout where it increases productivity and improves employee wellness all while making it aesthetically pleasing.

First and foremost, great customer service and collaboration ensure the space is ideal for you and your team!

An office renovation project includes services such as site surveys, space planning, 3D renderings, schematic layouts, furniture, and finish sections, and much more. Collaboration between the client and designer is key to creating a space that best fits your needs.

Depending on the type of project, the time frame could be between a few weeks to a few months. During the early stages of a design project, our team will create a schedule to ensure the project runs smoothly and on time.

Interior designers create spaces that benefit employee wellness, increase productivity, save you time and effort, and reduce any unnecessary expenses. A design team also offers a reliable network of trade partners, allowing you access to great contractors, finishes, furnishings, and more.
