What is the difference between an independent home improvement designer and a decoration company?

The difference between an independent designer and a decoration company is meaningless. No one can guarantee that the so-called independent designer will be taller than the decoration company, and it is also a pit if it is unreliable. 1. Let's talk about the professional development of designers in the interior design industry. In a formal interior design company, the entry of designers is only interns (or other titles). What is an intern? Doing design on the floor plan is basically not qualified, but more as a draftsman. With the chief designer, it is basically the chief designer who talks with customers about the list. This is a reliable method in design management, a method of being responsible to customers, and a method of ensuring that the list can be discussed. Draughtsman, in this process, has accumulated experience in design, materials and construction through the continuous accumulation of real cases. Because interns are basically fresh graduates, they rent houses at most. What is the experience of a designer who doesn't even have his own house? I'm sorry, it may be ridiculous. I mean, it's hard for people who don't have independent life experience to really understand the needs in life. You see, even if you have no life experience, you will be stupid if you encounter 2-3 owners with practical problems. This time, I escaped. The basic salary of draftsmen is very low, and they basically rely on the chief designer to allocate more projects to get commissions. Then the more mature interior design companies I know are all in this mode, and it will take at least 2-3 years for the draftsman to get out of the computer room. What about the informal ones? Informal interior design majors will let you in, and there is basically no threshold. They will give you a basic salary of 1000 yuan for one month in 800 yuan. If you have nothing to do, you can call the customer and talk to the owner about the design director. Then I asked you which building, and a bunch of renderings and floor plans hit you. Which floor plan do you like? Usually they have ready-made maps of nearby buildings. To put it bluntly, it is a set of plans, which are similar. How can such a design company survive? Why can't you live? Don't always scold the design company. The materials should be cheap, the design fee cannot be paid, and the construction progress should be maintained. There are so many such owners. If the owners are really demanding, can they have their living space? To put it bluntly, natives are the most suitable for garbage companies. In this way, people can't show off their neighbors No, don't spray me. Most of these people will not come to Zhihu to see this answer. Don't put it on yourself. 2, continue to say formal. Draughtsmen in regular companies have made their own plans for more than 2-3 years (2-3 years soon) and will start to have their own design price per square meter. What? You said there are design companies that charge design fees? Nonsense, that's what we're talking about Clearly marked, 80- 100- 150-200/ square meter in different grades, from ordinary designers to chief designers. It is the same as seeing a doctor, such as chief physician, associate professor doctor and professor doctor. Basically, it is 150 yuan/square meter for 5-6 years. At this stage, the master's plan is in front of him. What? Less than 100 square meter? People directly and enthusiastically introduced you to a designer with a starting price below 80. There is nothing to look down upon, really, people's time is precious. You said that you are less than 100 square meter, and you are willing to pay10.5 million design fee? How many people are willing? Five of 100 are amazing. Look at him, he is also idle. He's showing his face at home, or you won't see him at all. Well, you said you had money, and people told you that my price was non-negotiable. They won't give you crap yet. Have you brought the floor plan? Then put me through. I won't talk to you for 5- 10 minutes. After concentrating on the drawings 10 minutes, he has considered all your concerns about the structural problems of your house, what they are and how to adjust the layout. I won't talk to you about those styles. Tell you, there are few small-sized houses that are not sick now. People are so expensive that I won't tell you anything as soon as I come up. Take your pulse first and tell me your problem. Sign the agreement if you are not satisfied. Then talk about how many people, interests, hobbies, taboos and occupations there are in the family in detail. These are all included after charging. Really? The director doesn't need to find an order at all. Really, customers over 200 yuan/m2 introduce customers. My classmate, as the chief designer, introduced me to a friend who made a small public service. People are not stupid. Big bosses sometimes make small designs and small clothing stores with wife characteristics. After that, he did no less than 7-8 projects for this boss, including villas, wedding photo studios and hotels, all of which were millions of projects, and he never had to worry about the project cost. After 3-4 years, is it still the relationship between designers and owners? People are as familiar as their own families. The boss asked him to have tea when he was free and introduced his friends to him. I took a wedding photo and was given a discount card directly. Powerful people really know that good designers are scarce resources. 3. Actually speaking of this, do I need to say independent designer? The above-mentioned classmate, now an independent designer, has opened his own BMW, three houses and a studio for almost two years. I've never asked anyone to introduce the list. When he said he wanted to be a studio, several bosses introduced him to the office. Finally, he invested some money and bought a house by the river as an office. Don't care about anything, let him do it. There are several stable decoration construction teams behind. Now I have 10 years experience in interior design. Orders with an area less than 150 square meters are basically not accepted, and he has to look at people when customers introduce him. Do you really think that all owners are gods? Some gods you can't handle. You are always pestering for fear of losing money. People who are taken advantage of are annoyed. Would rather not do it. The so-called independent designers, first of all, do not say anything else, first of all, what is independence, no need to call to pull orders, stable and reliable decoration construction team, more than 5 years of professional experience, with these hardware conditions can start. It's basically sauce, and finally, one more thing. Have you noticed? I never said decoration company, I always said interior design company, because they really make money by design.
