When you’re investing in one of your largest assets, either a renovation, new build, or bespoke interior design fit out, your biggest risk isn’t choosing the right tapware or benchtop – it’s choosing the wrong leadership.
We’ve all heard the stories of project delays, budgets that creep up and up, decisions that get delayed, trades all pointing fingers and not taking responsibility, clients feeling exhausted.
A beautiful mood board won’t prevent this – but strong leadership will, and in high end design projects, this difference is even more important.
Design taste is expected – leadership is the advantage
Many designers can show you a beautiful mood board. However when the scale of the project is large, or growing, what truely matters is having a designer who can manage and guide the overall project, to keep it true to it’s vision.
At this level clients aren’t just choosing a designer, they’re choosing someone who can:
- Communicate clearly and confidently with builders and trades.
- Keep timelines realistic and moving along
- Manage the budget and/or possible overruns
- Make decisions and come up with alternative solutions
- Spot mistakes so they are amended quickly
- Hold the project vision and keep it consistent.
The experience?
Ultimately, it’s not just about how things look, it’s also about how the project runs – organised, calm, intentional, and under control. This is especially true in high-end projects, where expectations and stakes are higher.
The differences in the way the project is led
Designer as Stylist
* Focuses mainly on how things look
* Makes suggestions.
* Steps back during construction.
* Hopes the team communicates well
Designer as Project Leader
* Oversees how everything is planned, built & delivered.
* Makes confident, informed decisions.
* Stays actively involved, coordinating every detail.
* Ensures the team communicates well
At Rebecca Logan Design, projects are led with a clear design direction, capability, and 25+ years of knowledge and experience – so my clients don’t have to worry.
The truth about high end projects
It takes good leadership and project management to protect your investment.
What this means…
There is always a full design pack on site with all required information.
The project is managed well and trades are informed ahead of time.
Potential issues are raised early, and addressed.
You don’t need to waste time contacting trades or suppliers.
Plus, you get to carry on with your job, whilst seeing the project evolve.
Your time matters.
Equally, your peace of mind is important.
And protecting your investment is essential
