Hello everyone, I got question about money :)

I would like to know how much it would cost to make interior of 10 rooms? bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, livingrooms...Nothing special, just furniture,wallpapers,floors and something else...What do you think how much it can cost?

Thanks for your answers/advices

Thats an impossible question for anyone else to answer effectively..

 

We dont know if you use stock furniture, the sizes of the rooms, what the brief is, how fast you work, what your standard of work is, how the rooms are kitted out, the cost in your country may vary widely to other regions......

 

You need to have a look at the amount of work, and decide how long it will take you from start to finish. Then think of an amount of money you could charge per hour... what would you be happy with.. Then total it up and see how it looks.

 

Then come back here and see what you are charging per image.. Thats probably a better way to get an idea.. If you are charging around £300 - £600 for 1 internal shot (UK pounds) then maybe you are in the right area if its much more or much less, then perhaps thats a little cheap / pricey.

 

Obviously that is based on UK prices and is a very rough estimate of cost, based on the fact you have a run of images to work on.

how long is a piece of string?

 

costing depends on numerous things. ie...

 

* you as an individual - how good are you and the service you offer? is this a one off job for extra pocket money, or a going concern for your business? are you a nube with no experience or name, or have you come recommended and you're a big cheese in the business (meaning you can potentially charge so much more)? do you generally charge per job or per hour? what is your location and overheads? what's the general going rate in your part of town? (i know location is less relevant these days in the age of the web, but even so, it matters)

 

each of these factors greatly effect the price.

 

 

* the brief - you haven't really given us much to go on. if this job were offered to me i'd ask for a fair bit more info before i give a quote. if this was all i had i'd give a quote based on previous similar work i've done. and i can almost guarantee my prices will massively differ to yours.

what's the dead line?

is it just a modeling job (as you seem to indicate) or do you need to provide stills/animations too?

what quality is the client expecting, photo real or more schematic/wip?

how complicated is the job? (modeling furniture and kitting out an interior might be time consuming).

will you need to charge for extras? (ie, render farm costs, photography costs, printer costs, cd/dvd costs etc etc)

 

see what i mean? i know what i'd charge (given more info) but i'm presuming you're quite new to this and just in it for a bit of extra cash. my charges wouldn't mean to you. so sorry, cant give you a figure :(

 

why not just determine how long you think it'll take you and charge the client a figure that'll make you relatively happy for your time taken?

nicnic id recommend getting it done in china, and then double or triple that cost - pass it on to the client and keep the profits

 

It would be interesting to track comunication between lithuanians and chinesse visualization artists :D]
