Approximate cost: 300–500 RUB per m² (agreed individually). --- ### Can I order only a design project without renovation? Yes. Many clients order design documentation and implement it independently. --- ## Renovation & Supervision ### Do you provide turnkey renovation? Yes. Turnkey projects include: - Full design documentation - Construction works - Material procurement - Author supervision - Coordination of contractors --- ### What is the renovation cost? Designer renovation works average around 40,000 RUB per m² (labor only). Rough and finishing materials are purchased separately. Lower-cost teams (25,000–30,000 RUB per m²) often involve generalists instead of specialized professionals, which increases risk of hidden defects and deviations from the project. kryDesign works only with specialized professionals. --- ### Do you provide author supervision?

Construction works — 1 year warranty. Design project — adjustments possible during implementation if required. --- ## Project Process ### How long does a design project take? Average: - 30 working days (standard) - 15 working days (basic package) - Up to 50 working days (large or complex projects) --- ### How long does renovation take? Example: 80 m² apartment → 6–7 months. Designer renovation cannot realistically be completed in less than 5 months without quality compromise. --- ### Can changes be made during renovation? Minor changes: Allowed (e.g., switch model, wall color adjustments). Major structural changes: Possible but not recommended. Large changes may: - Disrupt process - Increase costs - Shift responsibility and risks to the client Additional work is оплачивается отдельно. --- ### Can you meet urgent deadlines? Yes.
