What to review before a milestone payment

What to review before a milestone payment

Match the payment request to the agreed deliverable. Survey records, approved drawings, inspection notes and handover lists answer different questions. Paying a milestone is not a substitute for checking the stated evidence.

A well-managed interior project separates inspiration, estimation, approval and execution. Keep a single current scope and make decisions visible to everyone involved. The quotation should identify materials, quantities, exclusions and the person responsible for each decision. Photos and illustrations help discussions; they are not substitutes for measurements or professional checks.

The proposed payment schedule is 10% booking and survey, 20% design approval, 40% production readiness, 20% installation and inspection, and 10% snag clearance and handover. It becomes a commercial commitment only after the final scope and terms are approved. Later milestone invoices require the agreed evidence and settlement of the preceding stage.

Use the online estimator to discuss options, not to bypass review. Prices start at INR 9,00,000 per 400 sq ft plus estimated GST, with optional scope packages priced separately. Ask for clarification of any overlap or missing item. Contact the consultant through the project enquiry form to keep requests traceable and let staff confirm the appropriate delivery and tax treatment.
