When should I hire an interior designer for new construction?
Ideally, K&E Interior Design should be involved as early as possible in the new construction process. Early collaboration allows us to work alongside your architect and builder while plans are being developed, helping ensure the layout, finishes, cabinetry, lighting, and architectural details support a cohesive design from the beginning.
Does K&E work with architects and builders?
Yes. Collaboration with architects, builders, contractors, and trades is an important part of K&E's new construction process. We work alongside your project team to communicate design intent, coordinate selections, review details, and help ensure the finished home reflects the overall vision.
Can K&E review architectural plans?
Yes. K&E can review architectural plans as part of the design process, considering how the proposed layout and architectural details will support the function and overall aesthetic of your home. Plan review also allows us to identify opportunities for interior design elements such as cabinetry, lighting, finishes, and other details early in the process.
What does an interior designer help with during new construction?
An interior designer helps bring together the many design decisions involved in building a new home. K&E can assist with space planning, interior and exterior finishes, cabinetry, lighting, architectural details, color, materials, and specifications while coordinating with the architect and builder throughout the project.
Can you help select both interior and exterior finishes?
Yes. K&E can help create a cohesive material and finish palette that carries throughout the home. Depending on the project scope, selections may include flooring, tile, cabinetry, countertops, paint, wall coverings, lighting, plumbing fixtures, exterior materials, and other interior and exterior finishes.
Do you provide cabinetry and architectural detail design?
Yes. Cabinetry and architectural details are an important part of creating a home that feels cohesive and personalized. K&E can develop cabinetry concepts and help define details such as millwork, built-ins, trim, and other architectural elements so they complement the overall design.
How involved are you during construction?
K&E remains involved throughout the construction process to help keep the design moving forward. Depending on the project scope, this may include site visits, meetings with builders and trades, reviewing progress, answering design questions, coordinating details, and helping resolve design-related issues as they arise.
Do you provide project management?
K&E provides design-focused project management and coordination as part of its services. This can include coordinating with architects, builders, and trades, communicating design specifications, tracking selections and details, and participating in site meetings. The exact level of project management is determined by the scope and needs of each project.
