When you hire an interior designer project manager (IDPM), you gain the advantage of having a skilled designer guide you through each decision. Even smaller projects have so many choices that need to be made, sometimes quickly, and changing the decision isn’t always easy and can be very costly.
Having a designer who understands your style and shares your vision for the project is an invaluable asset. This designer advocates for you, driving the project’s vision with every contractor interaction. This ensures that the final outcome aligns with what we have developed through our detailed project planning.
As an Interior Designer Project Manager (IDPM), the homeowner no longer needs to oversee the progress on the job site. We schedule contractors and provide photo and video updates and regular progress reports. This process creates a low-stress experience, meets high expectations, and leads to an excellent outcome.
I am not a general contractor, nor do I supervise or hire contractors directly. However, I have a list of qualified contractors I trust and recommend to my clients. As the project manager, I want this project to run smoothly and efficiently. I create high-performance teams that can work together and treat clients respectfully. I demand that on every project for my clients. All payment agreements between contractors and homeowners are in your hands, ensuring you always control your finances and budget.
General contractors operate under various business models, but typically, homeowners work directly with one general contractor (GC), who manages the subcontractors for the project. Most general contractors do not employ an interior designer and require homeowners to use the subcontractors provided without the opportunity to receive several bids for each trade.
