The real cost of design
Where a builder’s design money goes
Three costs show up when you turn a lead into a design.
Software licenses
Design software is typically priced per seat, per month. A team with several designers pays for several licenses.
Designer time
A designer who draws a concept for every lead spends hours on homeowners who may never buy.
Commission
Designer commission on a sold pool is typically a percentage of the sale, paid whether the design was easy or hard.
What design software and designers really cost
Most companies have several. The big builders have 20 or more. Five licenses is $1,000 a month.
On a $100,000 pool, 5% is $5,000 paid to a designer.
