Studio EM and Commercial Interior Design have put together this brief survey in order to ascertain a guideline of prices/benchmark for project fees in the region, in order to have a framework or report that we all can reference when it comes to what is deemed a market rate and what is indeed undercutting the market. 

For any questions not relevant to you or areas of the industry not relevant to your practice please leave your answer blank. 

This survey does not include MEP or Kitchen Design works.
