In this episode of the Interior Design Business podcast, we’re diving into the challenges of staying in control during remodeling projects. When clients bring contractors into the mix too early, things can quickly get complicated. We’ll explore a real-life case where a designer lost control of a kitchen remodel after the client and contractor made changes without the designer’s input, leading to budget cuts and project issues.

Learn essential strategies to avoid these pitfalls, such as finalizing project details before introducing contractors, developing a clear scope of work, and ensuring contracts are signed and funded before any contractor-client interactions. We also discuss how to communicate the impact of design changes, from increased costs to potential liability issues, and the importance of maintaining control over the project from start to finish.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why you should avoid bringing contractors in too early
• The importance of finalizing scope and budget before contractor-client meetings
• How to handle client-led design changes and DIY efforts
• Tips for maintaining control throughout remodeling projects

If you’ve ever felt sidelined during a remodeling job, this episode is for you. Take back control and ensure a smooth project flow!
