Plan the installed window treatment scope

A practical quote checklist for South Bay interior designers: specify openings, fabric, controls, installation responsibilities and written project pricing.

Specify the opening before the allowance

A general per-window allowance can hide differences in width, fabric, operating system and access. Share an opening schedule, the room goals and the preferred treatments so the quote can identify what is actually included. Final dimensions and mounting conditions are confirmed on site.

Keep selections traceable

  • Give every opening a room name and identifier.
  • Record the product, fabric code, opacity, color and hardware finish.
  • Specify manual or motorized operation and the intended power arrangement.
  • Identify any smart-home platform, required equipment and setup responsibility.
  • Flag oversized spans, unusual access, specialty mounting and electrical work.

Separate roles and approvals

Confirm who approves the fabric, who signs off on the opening schedule and who coordinates site access. Keep revised selections with the current proposal so an earlier concept is not mistaken for the manufacturing instruction.

Compare the complete written total

BLINDS100 prepares a personal installed quote after confirming the selections and conditions. Do not use an old public starting-price table or planner as a final client price. Record applicable taxes, exclusions, any eligible current offer and the installation scope. Use the installed-quote checklist when comparing proposals.

Coordinate samples and timing

Bring the selected fabric into the room alongside the other finishes. Establish the approval deadline, expected production and installation milestones, and who handles changes or service. Review fabric planning for designers before the sample visit.
