Costs

1. Family Trees

As this is a CUSTOM DESIGN service it is not possible to give exact prices in advance. In each design the cost estimate is divided into 3 parts:

a) Preparation of the design

• this includes meeting the client, initial discussion (budget etc)
• familiarisation with the material, rewriting if it is not neatly prepared (a computer printout is preferable or a NEAT handwritten copy)
• a first DRAFT is prepared and a decision made as to the best LAYOUT
• A written QUOTATION is prepared

b) Execution of the Design

c) Proof-reading

Prices begin at $150 with no graphics and 3 generations.
All commissions will not proceed without a SIGNED DESIGN AGREEMENT on acceptance of the Estimate. ESTIMATES carry a nominal FEE of $200 as most of the planning is done at this stage.

2. Other Services

Most services provided by Patricia are custom designed and therefore require a quotation in advance.

The following information is necessary to give a cost estimate:

1. the extent of the material to be written (eg. how many lines/words)
2. the quantity (the higher the quantity the lower the item price)
3. the time allowed for the work to be done
4. what is the material supplied for the work ( rag paper, coated paper, handmade paper)
5. is colour matching necessary
6. the style of lettering required
7. will the designer provide the stock (paper) to be used
8. is a preliminary design required
9. is a receipt or invoice required

PROVIDING ALL THE INFORMATION IN ADVANCE reduces the possibility of unexpected charges when the work is ready to collect!!!
