The Interior Designer’s Role in Construction Project Management

If you’ve ever felt like construction and renovation projects are spinning out of control—delays, unclear responsibilities, contractors ghosting, and clients suddenly treating you like the problem—this post is for you.

Project management during construction is where many designers lose money, time, and patience. But with the right systems and boundaries, you can stay in control, keep your clients happy, and protect your profitability.

In this post, I’m sharing:

• The #1 contract mistake designers make when managing construction projects (and how to fix it).

• How to avoid working with difficult builders—and what to ask before taking on a project.

• Why setting clear pricing and scope for project management can make or break your profit margins.

• The key conversations to have with your GC before construction even begins (miss this, and it’ll cost you).

If construction projects have been a source of stress, it’s time to take back control. The DTS Files gives you access to this full post, plus expert insights to help you structure your services, set better boundaries, and confidently manage every stage of the design process.
