very inception of their business relationship the exact scope of services and
the corresponding professional charges.

Client and the effects of his work upon the life and well-being of the public
and the community as a whole, and to endeavor to meet the aesthetic and
functional requirements of the project commensurate with the Client’s

A-5 The Interior Designer shall charge his Client for services rendered, a
professional fee commensurate with the work involved and with his

prescribed by the Philippine Institute of Interior Designers (P100).

through his professional fee charged directly to the Client. He shall not
accept nor ask for any other returns in whatever form from any interested
