Define the changes you need

Separate everyday needs from decorative preferences. Do you want to open the kitchen, improve storage, review the lighting or rethink the whole apartment? A room-by-room list helps prioritise each intervention. The budget depends on that brief and the property’s actual condition. A light refresh and a complete transformation have different scopes; avoid relying on a price per square metre without understanding what it includes.

Understand the existing apartment

Gather the drawings and available information about the installations before selecting finishes. Plumbing, electrical, ventilation and access constraints can affect the layout and costs. Have the appropriate professionals assess technical interventions. Structural changes and any applicable permissions need to be reviewed for the individual project. Interior design helps coordinate decisions, while the necessary technical checks remain essential.

Build a budget by work package

Separate the design study, preparation work, technical installations, finishes, joinery, lighting, equipment and furniture. Record what each package includes, what remains undecided and the relevant quote. Check quantities, fitting, delivery and accessories. This makes trade-offs clearer and shows how one decision may affect several areas of the budget.

Review the atmosphere before ordering

3D views bring materials and furniture together in one interior so you can assess proportions, circulation and colours before placing orders. Review physical samples as well: materials can look different under changing light or on a screen. Confirm final references with contractors and suppliers, and keep the choices together in a shared project file.

Allow for project adjustments

Discuss a contingency with the project team according to the property’s condition and remaining uncertainties, rather than assuming one universal percentage. Request a price for changes before implementation.
