Tell the architect what you lack especially in the interior, which already exists. Why did you want to change or adjust? There are no trifles, even such wishes as "lacking warmth and comfort" you have to say.
At this stage, you could really use the task list that you made earlier.
Each of them will need to be addressed. But the more interesting work for the architect's interiors, real professional when of the little details, hints and stories formed a single space.
And here it is not necessary to dissemble — you already know their capabilities, planned contingencies.
Tell me that the architect should propose a solution that will fit into this amount.
The cornerstone of all good beginnings: in your head you have to hold the figure above which will never rise. 20% of this figure safely take is unforeseen expenses. The remaining amount, the final figure of the budget must be heard in your discussions with the architect.
Be sure to discuss what is the price for all services, work and materials. That is, this is the amount you are willing to pay for the result — the finished interior.
Of course, sometimes it turns out that in the process of implementation of the planned interior, you missed something important.
If you do not take this into account and are now ready to fix it — these costs are justified.
However, the more carefully you prepare in the early stages, the less the probability of occurrence of such a situation.
