5 Biggest Pain Points for Interior Studios
If two of these sound familiar, your margin is leaking right now.
Client change-orders not tracked
"Just shift the wardrobe 2 feet" turns into 8 hours of carpenter rework, ₹40k of extra ply, and no formal approval. You absorb the cost.
Vendor coordination chaos
Carpenter, painter, polish, AC, false-ceiling, electrical — six vendors, six WhatsApp groups, zero visibility on who is delaying whom.
Project margin erosion
You quoted at 22% margin. By handover you're at 9%. Site visits, redo work, stretched timelines and unbilled changes ate the rest.
Photo & material approvals scattered
Fabric sample on email, mockup on WhatsApp, polish shade on Drive. When client says "I never approved that", you can't produce the trail.
Sub-vendor billing complexity
Each vendor sends bills on different formats. Reconciling against PO and advance paid takes a junior 2 days a week — full-time.
How Site Setu Solves Each One
Change-orders → To-Do + Quotations
Use the per-site to-do list with comment threads and screenshot uploads to log every change-order. Generate a fresh quotation or work order for the variation and bill at the next milestone — the change is on record and margin stays intact.
Vendor chaos → Vendor + Party + Work Orders
Every vendor / supplier / labour-contractor with their own ledger of work orders, advances, payments and document attachments. One screen replaces six WhatsApp groups.
Margin erosion → Site Dashboard + Approvals
Site dashboard rolls up credit / debit across 8 payment heads per project. Every payment request needs admin approval before money moves — you spot bleeding projects before the back-office surprises you.
Approvals trail → Document Attachments + Audit
Every fabric sample, finish, mockup and shade lives as an image / PDF attachment on its record, served through a secure image proxy. Combined with the edit / delete history, the trail is tagged and dated.
Vendor billing → Invoicing + GST
Vendor work orders capture line items and T&Cs; invoices generate against them with CGST/SGST/IGST applied. Multiple invoice templates ship by default — your back-office reclaims hours a week.
We run 8 active interior projects across Mumbai and the change-order chaos was killing our margins. Clients would ask for "small tweaks" that turned into a week of rework, and we never billed for half of them. Site Setu's change-order workflow with digital client approval pulled our average project margin back from 11% to 19%. The vendor PO + GST billing alone saves us two full days a week.
