Think hiring an Interior Designer (ID) just means picking out furniture and wallpaper? Think again! 🏡✨
A truly professional ID handles the most crucial groundwork before a single wall even comes down. Here is what a responsible design team actually does before official construction begins:
📢 1. Issues Notice of Renovation Protects your relationship with neighbors! They prepare and distribute formal notices to nearby units and building management, listing work hours, emergency contacts, and polite heads-up to minimize friction early on.
📐 2. On-Site 1:1 Walkthrough & Site Marking Before swinging any hammers, the team maps out your layout directly onto the bare floors and walls. From socket placements to sofa depth, everything is physically verified on-site with the contractor.
🚪 3. Comprehensive Site Protection Your main door, lift lobby, and corridors are wrapped tightly in protective sheeting to prevent expensive collateral damage during material transport.
🏢 4. Handles Building Management Clearances Submits blueprints, permits, and handles security deposits directly with property management so you don’t have to deal with paperwork headaches.
📅 5. Master Timeline & Procurement Schedule Layouts every milestone—from tiling to custom carpentry—so you know exactly what materials need to be ordered when. No idle days, no project delays!
