10 Things to Check Before Hiring an Interior Firm in Nepal, By Furnisia Interiors & Architects.
Hiring an interior design firm is a major decision — one that impacts your home, lifestyle, and budget. In Nepal’s fast-growing interior design market, clients often face confusion due to inconsistent pricing, limited accountability, or unclear processes.
Here are the 10 most important things to consider before hiring an interior firm in Nepal, so you avoid costly mistakes and hire with confidence.
1. Experience & Portfolio
Check how long the firm has been working and review their project portfolio. A company with 7+ years of experience like Furnisia Interiors is more likely to deliver consistent quality across a range of project types — from modern kitchens to full home renovations.
Tip: Ask to see before–after images or visit a completed site.
2. Client Reviews & Testimonials
Don’t just rely on social media posts. Read their Google Reviews, Facebook page feedback, or website testimonials to understand:
- Are past clients satisfied?
- Did the firm meet timelines?
- How was the after-service?
3. Company Registration & Legality
Make sure the firm is legally registered in Nepal and operates under a PAN number. This ensures:
- Proper documentation
- Project accountability
- Transparent billing
4. Clear Design & Execution Process
Professional firms follow a transparent workflow:
Initial Meeting → Site Visit → Design Brief → 3D Visualization → Budgeting → Execution → Handover
Avoid firms that skip design stages or provide vague estimates.
5. In-house Team vs Outsourced Labor
A firm with an in-house team of designers, site supervisors, and carpenters can offer:
- Better coordination
- Faster execution
- Higher finish quality
Ask: “Who handles the execution — your team or external contractors?”
6. 3D Design & Visualisation
Always demand 3D designs or renders before finalizing. This helps you visualize:
- Layout
- Color themes
- Material finishes
It’s a red flag if the firm only shows Pinterest-style mood boards but no site-specific 3D views.
7. Material & Hardware Transparency
Make sure the interior firm specifies:
- Brands of laminate, ply, channels, and handles
- Options for waterproof materials
- Backup brands or upgrade choices
Transparency = Trust.
8. Budget Breakdown & Flexibility
Ask for a detailed BOQ (Bill of Quantities) showing:
- Labor cost
- Material cost
- Optional upgrades
Avoid firms that only give a lump-sum number without breakdowns. It makes cost management harder.
9. Timeline Commitment
Ask for a timeline with milestones, like:
- Completion of modular work
- Painting and finishes
- Final cleaning and handover
Delays in interior execution can affect move-in dates, rental income, or client operations.
10. Post-Handover Support & Warranty
A professional firm will offer:
- Warranty on modular furniture & hardware
- Free maintenance checks for a few months
- Paid AMC (Annual Maintenance Contracts) for long-term support
Bonus Tip: Compare Multiple Firms
Always meet at least 2–3 interior companies, compare:
- Their design sensibility
- Their material transparency
- Their cost logic and attitude
You’ll quickly identify who’s genuinely client-focused.
Why This Matters in Nepal
Interior design in Nepal is still an unregulated space. Many “contractors” pose as designers. Without checking credentials, you risk:
- Substandard work
- Delayed delivery
- Overbudget execution
- Miscommunication during the process
