Building or remodeling a home is an exciting but challenging undertaking. Often, homeowners seek out a builder without first consulting a designer. This means a designer isn’t brought into the process until many things are already built or in process. At MJS Interiors, we suggest that home design Houston be done as a collaborative effort between designer and builder to create something that fits homeowners’ needs and pocketbooks.
Benefits of a Designer-Builder Relationship
Designer-builder relationships have many benefits. First, this allows the building contractor to focus on what they do best—build. It also creates a process where every part of the build or remodel is thought out and budgeted for from day one. This ensures clients stay within budget and are happy with the end product. Last, an interior designer can work as a project coordinator and communicator to move through the whole process without confusion and without leaving you to make sure everyone is on task.
What Does an Interior Designer Do?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Interior designers make interior spaces functional, safe, and beautiful by determining space requirements and selecting decorative items, such as colors, lighting, and materials. They read blueprints and must be aware of building codes and inspection regulations, as well as universal accessibility standards.”
