I am currently completing an interior design online course through the Institute of Interior Design, and as part of my coursework, I am trying to find out more about fee structures for interior designers in Cape Town. If you are willing to share, I would so appreciate a rough idea about the best type of fee structure, and the amount that would be charged. Many thanks,
