Sussanne Khan: A Transparent Per-Square-Foot Model
Sussanne Khan runs her business with a clear and structured pricing system. She charges clients a flat design fee on a per-square-foot basis, usually ranging between ₹1,200 and ₹2,000. The final amount varies depending on factors such as the client’s budget, the property’s location, and the choice of materials.
For instance, a 2,000 sq. ft. apartment could cost anywhere between ₹24 lakh and ₹40 lakh just for design fees. The entrepreneur generally takes 30 percent of the fee upfront before beginning work, then bills for material expenses separately, completing the project room by room. According to her estimates, the cost of designing a luxury 1,500 sq. ft. apartment in Mumbai comes to roughly ₹25–30 lakh. This makes her pricing relatively predictable for clients who want clarity before starting a project.
