Blueprints to Beautifully Finished Spaces: How an Interior Designer Guides you through the Construction Process

Building a home or embarking on a home renovation is an exciting journey—but it can also feel overwhelming. From architectural details and material selections to timelines and trade coordination, there are countless decisions to make, and each one affects the overall design and function of your space.

At Alicia Thomasson Interiors, we act as your advocate and creative partner throughout the construction process. Our goal is to make the experience smooth, clear, and—yes—enjoyable.

Here’s how we support you at every stage:

1. We Collaborate Early and Often

We join the project during the planning phase—before the first hammer swings. This allows us to:

• Review floor plans and suggest adjustments for flow and function.

  
  

• Ensure that architectural elements align with your design goals.

  
  

• Communicate your vision clearly to the builder and architect.

When the design team collaborates early, the results are more cohesive and custom to your lifestyle.

2. We Manage Selections and Specifications

Lighting, flooring, cabinetry, hardware, tile, paint colors, plumbing fixtures—the list goes on. We:

• Curate all materials and finishes into a cohesive palette.

  
  

• Provide clear specification documents to the builder or contractor.

  
  

• Help you visualize everything through mood boards, renderings, and physical samples whenever possible.

This eliminates decision fatigue and keeps the project on track.

3. We Prevent Costly Mistakes

Construction moves fast. Without an interior designer, important design details can be overlooked or misinterpreted. We’re there to:

• Catch inconsistencies before they become problems.

  
  

• Answer questions from trades and vendors on your behalf.

  
  

• Conduct site visits to ensure everything is installed correctly.

Our involvement saves time, money, and frustration in the long run.

4. We Coordinate With Trades

We serve as a liaison between you and your builder/contractor to streamline communication. This includes:

• Attending site meetings and walkthroughs.

  
  

• Reviewing schedules and construction milestones.

  
  

• Providing detailed documentation for design concepts and selections.

You don’t have to manage a dozen different contacts—we handle the details for you.

5. We Procure & Deliver the Finished Look

The ordering, tracking, handling broken fixtures and missing pieces - we take care of it. Once construction wraps, we handle everything from furniture installation to final styling. This creates a seamless transition from construction site to move-in-ready dream home.

At Alicia Thomasson Interiors, we know that the construction process can be complex—but it doesn’t have to be stressful. With our expert guidance and attention to detail, you can move through your project with confidence, knowing your home is in capable hands.

If you’re planning a new build or renovation, we’d love to be part of your team.

Let’s build something beautiful together.
