Creating a technical task for the interior design of the hotel is a complex work of the customer and the designer. In the TOR (terms of reference), all the nuances of the future interior are prescribed, based on which the designer has the opportunity to create the product that the client needs.
It is important that at the time of drawing up the TOR, the hotel owner should describe the desired interior in as much detail as possible, so that the designer clearly understands his task. The written material should also be accompanied by photos of the space at the start of work.
In General, the designer creates a technical task base based on:
- customer responses in the questionnaire;
- customer references with comments;
- information from conversations/correspondence with the customer.
Next, the designer creates a measurement of the space, meets with the customer to agree on all the points and generally clarify all the nuances, signs the TOR and accepts it into work.
Example of a technical task
The format of the provided data can be different – photos of the room with captions, text descriptions, charts. However, the TOR for a design project must contain the following information:
- a link to the contract concluded between the contractor and the customer to create the design project;
- indication of the parties who sign the TOR for interior design (Full Name or organization name);
- detailed description of the client's design wishes;
- photos and measurements of the premises;
- signatures of both parties;
- date of сonclusion of the agreement.
Legal side
It should be noted that the terms of reference is a legal document that is attached to the main contract for creating a design project. If the customer makes a claim to the work of the interior designer, subject to the fulfillment of the following points, you can refer to the TOR. Namely, if:
- the terms of reference are specified in the contract for creating a design project as an additional document;
- the TOR contains a link to the Contract;
- the terms of reference were signed by both parties (the same ones who signed the contract);
- spelled out the date of signing the TOR;
- the obligations of the contractor are clearly specified (it can be an attachment to the contract or be specified in the technical task);
- the client's wishes are specifically stated.
The terms of reference are legally binding only if all these points are met. So, the designer has the opportunity to defend their rights in court, based on the TOR.
