Top Takeaways:


When to bring in a designer - 11:20 - 14:30

Designers aren’t here to muck up your project and take you way out of budget

Generally, the earlier a designer is brought on, the better the end result will be

This gives them the most flexibility to achieve your goals within your timeline and budget

Deciding on your design goals for a new property - 17:00 - 19:30

Even though a designer might ask for a budget, they don’t need hard numbers

What they really want is an idea of the scale of money you want to put into the project

This will inform the direction of everything the designer does, from floorplan to finish

The remodel process with a designer - 20:45 - 26:30

As soon as you know you’re getting the property, bring on a designer to start planning

Give them an idea for the scale of your rehab and keep them informed on all changes

Once the designer starts drawing up plans, they’ll keep you and the contractor in the loop
