The Interior Design Consulting Agreement is a vital legal document used when professional interior design services are required for residential, commercial, or institutional projects in India. This agreement is essential for establishing clear professional boundaries, service expectations, and legal protections for both designers and clients. It comprehensively covers project scope, fees, timelines, intellectual property rights, and compliance with Indian building codes and regulations. The document is particularly important given the growing professionalization of interior design services in India and the need to protect both service providers and clients in increasingly complex projects. It should be customized based on project scale, whether it's for individual residential clients or large corporate developments, while maintaining compliance with Indian contract law and professional service regulations.
