US Home Interior Design & Turnkey Renovation Cost Per Sq.Ft (2026 BOM Guide — NYC, Austin, SF, Miami)
Hiring a traditional US residential interior architect in New York, San Francisco, Austin, Miami, or Los Angeles typically costs $2,500 to $15,000+ in design retainers alone—and takes 6 to 12 weeks before you see a single 3D elevation or contractor Bill of Materials. VectoDraft transforms your 2D floor plan (AutoCAD DWG, DXF, or PDF) into a complete 7-room 3D architectural specification and localized USD BOM estimate for a one-time $199 commission.
