Capture budget, style, timeline, and scope before your first consultation. Qualify clients, not just inquiries.
Not every inquiry is your dream project. HeyIntake helps you collect budget range, room scope, style inspiration, and timeline so you can identify ideal clients and politely pass on mismatches.
Design consultations are valuable — both your time and your creative energy. Spending an hour with someone whose budget is 10% of what the project requires isn't just frustrating, it's unprofitable.
A simple 'I need help with my living room' tells you nothing. Is it a furniture arrangement consultation or a full gut renovation? Is their budget $5,000 or $50,000? Do they want mid-century modern or coastal farmhouse? Without context, you're walking into consultations blind.
HeyIntake captures the details that matter before you invest time. Project scope, room dimensions, style preferences (with Pinterest boards), budget range, timeline, and decision-maker involvement. Our AI identifies which inquiries match your minimum project size and design aesthetic.
For residential designers, commercial interiors, and e-design businesses, this means consultations with qualified clients, projects that fit your portfolio goals, and fewer awkward budget conversations.
Sound familiar? HeyIntake solves these problems automatically.
Discovering after an hour-long consultation that their $5K budget won't cover your design fee, let alone furniture.
'Help me with my house' could mean one room refresh or whole-home renovation — you need specifics to quote.
Their 'modern' and your 'modern' might be completely different aesthetics.
Clients expecting a complete design in 2 weeks when you're booked 3 months out.
Designing for one spouse, then discovering the other has veto power and different taste.
No documented project boundaries means constant 'while you're at it' additions.
