Interior Design for Builders
Our builder partnership program embeds professional interior design into your construction workflow — reducing change orders, accelerating timelines, and elevating the finished product.
Do you work with builders on an ongoing basis or per project?
Both. We offer retainer-based partnerships for builders with consistent annual volume and per-project engagements for custom home builders. The structure depends on your volume, project types, and preferences.
How does the selection process work for buyer customization?
We present curated material palettes aligned with each home's design direction and budget tier. Buyers choose from pre-vetted options confirmed for lead time and trade compatibility, keeping selections on schedule while delivering a bespoke experience.
Will you attend construction meetings and site walks?
Yes. We attend key construction milestones including pre-drywall walks, rough-in verification, and finish installation coordination. We also participate in builder meetings as needed to align design and construction timelines.
Do you provide specification documents for subcontractors?
Every project includes comprehensive specification packages with product names, model numbers, finish codes, installation notes, and vendor contacts. Your trades receive clear, unambiguous direction.
Can you design and furnish model homes?
Absolutely. We offer full-service model home design and furnishing, including furniture procurement, art curation, accessory styling, and installation. Our models are designed to accelerate sales and command premium pricing.
What areas of Charlotte do you serve for builder partnerships?
We serve the entire Charlotte metro area including Myers Park, SouthPark, Dilworth, Ballantyne, Lake Norman, Weddington, Marvin, and surrounding communities. We also partner with builders in national luxury markets.
How do your fees compare to having buyers hire their own designer?
Our builder partnership fees are structured to deliver ROI through faster timelines, fewer change orders, and higher sale prices. Most builder partners find that our involvement pays for itself through reduced construction delays alone.
Do you work with production builders or only custom builders?
We work with both. For production builders, we develop elevated finish packages and designer upgrade tiers. For custom builders, we provide fully bespoke design services integrated into each unique project.
What is the minimum project size for a builder partnership?
We typically partner with builders on homes valued at $750,000 and above, though we evaluate each partnership based on volume, design complexity, and mutual fit rather than a strict minimum.
