Costs
Costing speculatively is always very tricky. Clients call me and say, "How much would it cost roughly to do a mural on my child's room?" This is what is going through my head:
- Where are you based
- What size is the room
- Is it on all the walls
- What condition are the walls
- In what medium are they painted
- Does this include ceiling
- What do you want painted in the room (for example children's characters and how many)
- Is there a main theme for the back ground
- What type of detail are you looking for, i.e very simple - photo quality
- Do you require me to design room
- Will you want it varnished
- What is the time scale
These are most of the questions I would need answered.
Prices range from £600 – £16,000.
There is no consultation charge within a radius of 10 miles around Harpenden, Herts, although there is a charge out side of this radius.
From this meeting I can assess the nature of your requirements, review them with you and advise. After that I can correctly price it.
Depending on the mural/work, I would advise the next step which is a scale visual that will show composition , sizes and detail involved. At this point we can change any ideas or revise the cost etc. The cost for this is £100 – £300 per visual, which I always strongly advise having done as 98% of my clients go with what I do exactly and the cost of this preliminary work is taken into account with the final pricing. It helps me design the best possible mural and colour co-ordination with the rest of the room.
