A non-refundable GH¢ 500 commitment fee is required to submit a brief. This confirms your seriousness, reserves your slot, and covers instructor review time. It is not negotiable and is not offset against any future balance.

For residential interiors, standard floor plans, and straightforward structural briefs, the GH¢ 500 commitment fee is the only fee due. DSD will deliver the agreed scope at no additional charge. What qualifies as moderate scope is determined solely by DSD.

Where DSD determines that a brief exceeds moderate scope — in size, complexity, or deliverable volume — a project fee will be quoted by DSD after brief review. This fee is fixed and non-negotiable.

DSD has sole discretion to classify any brief as moderate or large scope. This classification is communicated within 2 working days of submission. The client's assessment of their own project's complexity does not bind DSD.

Clients must provide accurate site dimensions, reference images, and all relevant existing drawings before design work begins. Incomplete briefs may be deferred or declined. No refund is issued for incomplete submissions.

DSD reserves the right to decline any brief that is incomplete, commercially exploitative, ethically unsuitable, or beyond student-level capacity. The GH¢ 500 fee is forfeited in such cases.

All completed work remains the property of DSD until any outstanding project fee is received in full. Upon full payment, the client receives a licence to use the deliverables for the stated purpose.

DSD retains the perpetual right to use all completed Studio Clinic projects in its portfolio, social media, marketing materials, and student showcases, without further consent or compensation.

Studio Clinic deliverables are supervised student work. They are not a licensed architect's or engineer's certification. For planning permission, building permits, or structural approval, clients must engage a licensed practitioner independently.

Two (2) revision rounds are included in every project. Revisions must be submitted in a single consolidated list per round. Additional rounds, if offered, are at DSD's discretion and pricing.

Abusive, disrespectful, or harassing behaviour toward students, instructors, or staff results in immediate cancellation without refund and permanent exclusion from DSD Studio Clinic.

DSD is not liable for construction defects, planning refusals, or any loss arising from the use of student drawings without licensed professional review and sign-off.
