Two ways to keep the almanac open
Fees are published in euro and never listed as zero. Choose a monthly retainer when the glass room needs ongoing tending, or a fixed project when you want a defined season of work with a clear end.
Retainer
Season desk
A standing relationship for households who open and close the garden room with the calendar. Ideal when plants, shade, and soft furnishings need regular tuning through Toulouse heat and winter damp.
- One on-site hour each month inside the commune
- Priority replies on shade and plant questions
- Seasonal shopping list updates in EUR
- Included settling tweaks after heatwaves
- Access to sample library on Rue du Taur
€1,450 / monthThree-month minimum. Extra site hours €110.
Project
Single harvest
A bounded commission from survey to furnished room. Suited to new conservatories, refreshed glazed links, or a full furniture and planting reset before a particular season.
- Survey, season sketch, and one revision
- Material and furniture direction
- Installer-facing finish notes
- Furnishing day direction
- Optional settling visit at €180
€4,800 – €14,500Range depends on area and sourcing depth. Deposit 40%.
Smaller entries in the ledger
Not every need requires a full harvest. A half-day layout survey is €220. A plant-zoning plan alone is €380. Shade-and-heat advisory is €290. These fees credit toward a project if you continue within sixty days.
Travel beyond the Toulouse ring may add €0.55 per kilometre after the first fifteen kilometres, quoted before booking.
What fees do not cover
Glass supply, building permits, electrician labour, and plant nursery invoices are paid to those suppliers directly unless we agree otherwise in writing. We can recommend contacts familiar with Canal du Midi adjacent properties, but you remain the contract holder with them.
Antique sourcing may require separate bidding; we charge time at €95 per hour when hunting specific pieces across Occitanie dealers.
How invoices land
Retainers invoice on the first working day of each month. Projects invoice deposit, midpoint after materials approval, and balance on furnishing day. Payment details appear on each invoice sent from [email protected].
We pause work if an invoice passes fourteen days unpaid, then restart once the ledger is clear.
