Product Description

An interior designer's best work is often measured by abstract standards. The designer's talent and skill can dazzle the eyes and win clients, but creative ability is not enough to ensure long-term success. The less glamorous side of interior design is one of negotiations, contracts, and finances. A designer ill-prepared to cope with the inevitable business and legal complications ultimately loses time and money, but now help is on the way. Attorney Tad Crawford and design business professional Eva Doman Bruck have teamed to provide interior designers with Business and Legal Forms for Interior Designers, a powerful new resource for building the the foundation for a successful design business.

From Library Journal

Attorney Crawford and professional designer Bruck, coauthors of Business and Legal Forms for Graphic Designers, have once again teamed up to present a comprehensive guide to business organization and legalities this time for interior designers. Though chapters cover successful proposals and negotiations as well as business law, the book consists primarily of forms, including those used for budgeting, scheduling, and contracts as well as logs for purchases and estimates. The forms, also found on the accompanying CD-ROM, are arranged chronologically and include extensive instructions on their use. Highly recommended for professional, college, and large interior design collections.

EXTREMELY NECESSARY
THIS BOOK IS NECESSARY FOR ALL INTERIOR DESIGNERS, JUST ABOUT EVERY FORM NECESSARY TO START AND RUN A BUSINESS IS IN THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK SHOULD SHOULD ALSO BE USED FOR INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS PRACTICES COURSES

Business Forms for Interior Designers
Book was a help to understand what forms would be useful for an owner of an interior design business. the book contained information on how the form is used, an example of the form. a cd was included that contained all forms covered in the book. this was most useful. To be honest, the forms were very basic and did not take advantage of color printers or fancy fonts. I used the forms I needed as a model to create a better versions in microsoft excel. If you are looking for basic forms to provide your clients and vendors, this book contains all that you need. If you need something alittle fancier, and are good with your computer, model your own from what is provided. I would still rate this book as a good buy.
