Construction Milestones that Require Designer Signoff
Image item
At what milestones during a residential construction project is it critical for an interior designer to make site visits to review completed work and provide approvals?
BY GLORIA STAFFORD, PhD, CID-MN

Interior designers know that completing all design-related decisions and documentation is often just the beginning in a project that involves construction. The hard work often kicks in during construction, installation, and implementation. As an interior designer, you’re still deeply involved—navigating last-minute decisions, troubleshooting issues, coordinating and communicating with contractors, and keeping clients informed.
 
But here's the thing: if you know exactly which milestones you need to stay on top of, you can streamline your role and keep the project moving smoothly.
 
In our latest edition of The Design Brief, we’ll break down the must-approve milestones and site visits that every interior designer should be involved in during a construction project.
 
🔧 Pro Tip: The more detailed your construction drawings are (think floor plans, elevations, and drawings), the less time you’ll need to spend onsite to ensure everything’s going according to plan. This means you need to be up to date on the latest codes.
