A project construction budget prepared by the interior designer should probably NOT include...

  1. The contractor's profit

  2. The designer's fees and reimbursables

  3. Estimates for built-in equipment

  4. Fixtures to be supplied by the owner

The correct answer is: The designer's fees and reimbursables

The best choice for what a construction budget prepared by the interior designer should not include is the contractor's profit. The contractor's profit is a part of the overall construction costs typically outlined in a separate contractual agreement between the contractor and the client. The interior designer's focus is generally on the design aspects and the direct costs associated with interior construction and furnishings. The designer's fees and reimbursables are necessary elements to include in the budget because they are part of the professional services provided for the project. Including estimates for built-in equipment and fixtures supplied by the owner is also appropriate since these are essential components of the interior design project and directly impact the overall budget. Therefore, the amount of profit that the contractor will earn is generally not delineated in the designer’s construction budget.
