Hi Ula,I will just like to say it’s my dream to become an interior designer and I am only twelve you inspire me to keep trying by making everything clear so I am willing to understand thank you :) Love you channel
Hi Laura, it's great that at such a young age you already know what you want to do in the future. I'm sure you'll be a very talented interior designer! I'll be adding more interior design videos so you are welcome to subscribe and learn with me.
Absolutely and it just so happens I cover this in my Beginner Interior Design Course - www.ulaburgiel.co.uk/beginner-interior-design-course Thank you for your comment!
Hi Samuel, so nice you liked the video. I use AutoCad for 2D drawings on Mac and outsource my 3D visuals. I think the company I’m working with is using 3DMax. Are you a designer yourself?
Thank you so much! :) I'm more old-school and prefer hand drawing than 3D modelling. When I really need to model something in 3D I usually outsource it. Having said that, SketchUp is the free software that all my colleagues are using (and are usually very happy with the results). Hope it helps! :)
Hi Eyana, I would be very cautious about doing the physical work yourself as this way you are becoming a contractor. This means there's more risk and responsibility involved. Different regulations will apply in different countries. So I wouldn't recommend doing it. Are you a designer yourself?
Thank you for the comment Tamer. There isn’t a universal answer to this question. It really depends on your skills as a designer and the complexity of the project you are working on. But to give you an approximate timeframe some low budget interior design companies require their employees to prepare first design concepts within 2 weeks (which I don’t think it’s enough time to properly do it). Whereas a high-end company with a good project will usually take 2 months to prepare concept design stage (first presentation) and the full design process, where the full specification is being prepared might take a year or more. The design process is strictly connected with the entire project management and construction timelines. The best way to discover what’s the best timeframe for you is to do one test project and calculate the hours you spend on it. It’ll also be very helpful with pricing your work. Are you an interior designer yourself Tamer?
from design to construction it depends on the project if you are doing a hotel with about 100-150 rooms it usually takes 2-3 years (from design to construction), if you are doing just a regular house with about 3-5 rooms (bedroom, kitchen, living, dinning) it takes about 4months - 6 months (design to construction, that is if the owner of the house stick to the design and doesn’t change it from time to time) that is repainting, changing furnitures, changing ceiling design, changing floor tiles design, re-wiring, plumbing etc..
Hi Kathlene, like many other London interior designers I outsource my 3D models. Mainly for efficiency so I can then focus more on designing, not rendering. I'm glad you like my content!
It's true. When I was starting out I was so determined to do everything by myself but changed this approach when I started working for bigger companies.
@@UlaBurgiel1 I honestly can't thank you enough for your content and how much you share about the PROCESS. Most interior designers are so hush about the main important details. The fact that you just said you, like MOST designers, outsource your 3D models??? That is so major, at least for me. It has been the #1 things stopping me from moving forward in changing my career (from fashion to interior design). I just couldnt wrap my mind around doing all of the modeling and further which program to use! Anyway, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
Who you are to tell whether it's helpful or not...if you don't like it then just don't comment your worst words ..just to get someone's confidence down..it won't bring you anywhere
