common questions

WHO DO I HIRE FIRST, DESIGNER, ARCHITECT OR BUILDER?

01
We would be more than happy to discuss this with you during our alignment call to recommend what is best for your project.

Start by hiring your Design Team first, which may include an Interior Designer, or an Architect and Interior Designer, depending on the project scope. Once you have a general layout and scope of work established, we recommend that you begin interviewing local builders—we're here to guide you and can recommend excellent build teams we love working with.
  • For new homes, we can connect you with recommended Architects or collaborate with your chosen professional. 
  • For renovations and additions, we can initiate the process for you. Our team develops building permits and construction plans for remodels and additions as part of our Full-Service Interior Design Packages.
