Work organisation on a new level
As an interior architect and creator of courses for interior designers, I've always looked for tools that could streamline my everyday work. When I met Robert and Magda and heard about their app, I thought: this is something for me. KIS List turned out to be an indispensable solution, both for me and for my students.
I immediately created my own template in KIS List, which significantly speeds up work on projects. Until then I'd worked in Excel. After some quick tests it turned out that KIS List is 2-4 times faster. As a result, I shortened the whole design process and started earning even more on interior design projects.
A shopping list always at hand
In interior design, one of the key tasks is creating shopping lists. KIS List has let my team easily categorise products, add photos and share lists with clients or contractors. Thanks to my template, my students can quickly create well-organised lists without having to start a shopping list from scratch. It makes things so much easier and saves a lot of time.
Example: Designing a flat for rent
In one of my projects for a flat to rent out, I had to coordinate the purchase of furniture, lighting and accessories. Thanks to the template in KIS List I was able to create separate lists for each room and share them with the contractor, who knew exactly which products were to be ordered.
My students use the same solution in their projects, which helps them avoid chaos in planning. They can quickly send a PDF with just the list of made-to-measure furniture or just the lighting. They don't have to copy the items for a given trade by hand. This wonderful tool really makes life easier. I'm not surprised that so many people rave about it when they switch to KIS List.
Client collaboration on a new level
Clients often want a say in choosing materials and accessories. KIS List lets you share lists and add comments in real time. We have a separate chat for the Team and a separate chat for clients. Thanks to my template, my students can easily bring this way of working into their own projects, which removes the need to send emails back and forth and streamlines the decision-making process.
Example: Choosing decor for a living room
When I was designing one living room, the client wanted to decide on the final accessories herself. I shared a list of decor suggestions with her in KIS List – so she could mark which products she liked and which she'd rather swap for something else. My students use the same solution and notice that their collaboration with clients is much more efficient.
Budget control and better planning
Managing the budget in interior design projects can be a challenge. KIS List lets you add product prices, which makes it easier to keep spending under control and avoid going over budget. I've created a template that helps my students and clients keep track of costs as they go and choose the best solutions. The template is divided into rooms, and it's very easy to add more bathrooms or extra rooms to it.
It's all thanks to Robert and Magda, who put their whole heart into this app and really listen to what users need.
Example: A kitchen design on a set budget
While working on a kitchen design, I had to stay within a specific budget. Thanks to KIS List I was able to check the prices of the individual items right at the first stage, so I didn't have to look for alternatives later.
I definitely prefer it when a project goes according to the brief from the very start, and the client is happy not only with the finished interiors, but also with how their wallet has been looked after! My students follow the same approach and notice that their projects are better organised.
Summary
KIS List is a simple yet extremely useful tool that can significantly streamline an interior architect's work. Thanks to the template I created, my students can easily manage purchases, client communication and budget control, which saves them time and helps them avoid mistakes. If you're not using KIS List in your work yet, it's worth trying it out – the efficiency and convenience are sure to win you over!
