Now this question I get asked quite a lot from developers: When should an interior designer be brought into a project? The answer is simple, as early as possible. 👍👍👍 Interiors are often viewed as the final layer of a development, but design decisions made early on influence layouts, circulation, lighting, material choices, and overall efficiency. These factors directly affect buyer appeal, build costs, and GDV. When a designer is brought in late, teams are often forced to work around decisions that are already locked in. Early involvement allows design to guide the build, reducing compromises and improving outcomes. At WildKind, this is the basis of our Design First. Build Smarter. Approach, ensuring design supports commercial objectives, not just aesthetics. 💭 At what stage do you typically involve design in your projects?
