That’s called a design-only or consultation model. In Delhi NCR, many interior designers offer it as a flat fee or per-square-foot service.
What You Get in a Layout & Consultation Package
- Space planning: optimized furniture layout, zoning of rooms.
- 2D drawings & 3D renders: to visualize the design.
- Material & finish suggestions: laminates, tiles, paint, lighting.
- Electrical & plumbing layout guidance.
- Vendor references: carpenters, modular kitchen suppliers, contractors.
- Estimated budget sheet: helps control costs before execution.
Cost of Consultation-Only Service in Delhi NCR
- Per sq ft: ₹30–₹100/sq ft (depends on designer reputation).
- For a 1,000 sq ft 2BHK → ₹30,000–₹1,00,000.
- Flat fee: ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakh (covers concept + drawings).
- Some freelance designers may offer basic layout + advice for as low as ₹20,000–₹40,000.
Benefits
- You save 30–40% compared to turnkey interior packages.
- Flexibility: you can execute with local carpenters, modular vendors, or in phases.
- Control: you decide where to splurge and where to save.
Limitations
- Designer won’t manage contractors or ensure quality control.
- Execution risks (delays, mistakes) are yours to handle.
- Vendor coordination requires your time and effort.
✅ Best for you if:
- You want professional guidance but prefer to manage costs and vendors yourself.
- Budget is ₹3–6 lakh for a 2BHK and you want maximum value.
