What it all adds up to...
While the items above give a good indication on budget, the journey is just starting. We pride ourselves at Make It Creative in finding the balance between Quality and Budget. Some cut the price by sacrificing quality, we would prefer to spend time to get it right without compromising on aesthetics or quality. We hope this is the start of a conversation where we work out a way to bring your vision to life.
We think your budget would be in the range of $250k to $350k for this project. With that, we can create a space that will be a pleasure for your staff to work in and a talking point for the clients lucky to be invited in.
