New Build Design Roadmap — Interior Design Guide for Homeowners
Building a new home is one of the most exciting things you'll ever do — and one of the most overwhelming.
There are hundreds of decisions to make. Contractors need answers you're not ready to give. And one wrong choice, made at the wrong time, can cost thousands to fix.
The New Build Design Roadmap is the guide I wish every one of my clients had from day one.
After walking dozens of homeowners through new builds and full renovations at my interior design studio in Greenville, SC, I've packaged everything I know into one clear, practical, beautifully designed guide — so you can build with confidence instead of anxiety.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT'S INSIDE (7 sections, 19 pages):
01 — Before You Break Ground
The decisions you must lock in before construction starts — and why they matter more than you think. Includes a complete phase overview so you always know what's coming next.
02 — The Selections Timeline
A phase-by-phase guide to choosing your finishes, fixtures, and materials in exactly the right order — so you never miss a deadline or pay for a rush order.
03 — Working With Your Builder
How to communicate effectively, understand change orders, protect your budget, and keep your build on schedule from first meeting to key handoff.
04 — Design Selection Guide
A room-by-room master checklist of every interior decision you'll need to make — kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, lighting, and paint — so nothing falls through the cracks.
05 — Costly Mistakes to Avoid
The 12 most expensive and common new-build mistakes, explained — with exactly what to do instead. This section alone could save you thousands.
06 — Questions to Ask
The questions your designer, builder, and architect wish you would ask (and most homeowners never think to). Go into every meeting prepared.
07 — Pre-Move-In Walkthrough Checklist
Your room-by-room guide to your final walkthrough before you accept the keys. Don't sign off on anything until you've checked every item on this list.
