Where procurement services are included, the project agreement should define purchasing responsibilities, payment terms, delivery coordination, storage, installation, and applicable fees.

INTERIOR DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

Coordinated With the Existing Home

Interior decisions often affect cabinetry, electrical work, plumbing, framing, flooring, doors, trim, lighting, and other construction requirements. Interior design and finish coordination therefore considers how selections and layouts interact with the broader remodeling or construction scope. Where architectural, engineering, or other regulated professional services are required, those services are performed or certified by appropriately licensed professionals according to the project and applicable jurisdiction.
