Why We Recommend Working with an Interior Designer: A Contractor’s Perspective

April 9, 2025
As a general contracting company, B&G has been a part of countless home renovation and remodeling projects over the years. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this: when a professional interior designer is involved, everything runs smoother—and the results speak for themselves.

Here’s why we always recommend our clients consider bringing an interior designer onto their home project team.

1. A Clear Plan from the Start

Interior designers help homeowners solidify their vision before we even pick up a hammer. That means fewer last-minute changes, better decision-making, and a more seamless construction process. When design choices are nailed down early, we can do our job more efficiently—and you avoid delays and budget surprises.

2. Design and Build Work Better Together

When designers and contractors collaborate, it’s a powerful combo. Designers focus on aesthetics and layout, while we handle the build and structure. Together, we make sure the design is both beautiful and feasible. It’s a team effort that results in a space that not only looks incredible but functions perfectly for your needs.

3. Better Use of Your Budget

We’ve seen it firsthand: homeowners often spend more money trying to DIY or make design choices on the fly. With a designer involved, you get expert guidance on where to splurge and where to save. Plus, it minimizes costly changes during the construction phase, which keeps your budget intact.

4. Access to Custom Solutions

Interior designers often bring creative ideas and solutions that can take your space to the next level—things like built-in features, unique materials, and clever layouts you may not have thought of. And when we work together from the start, we can build those ideas into your home with precision.

5. Less Stress for You

Let’s be honest—renovations can get overwhelming. Working with both a contractor and a designer means you have a solid support team handling the logistics, design decisions, materials, and timelines. We coordinate with each other so you don’t have to act as the middleman.

6. The Finished Product Is Always Better

When homeowners bring us projects with a designer already involved, the outcome tends to be more polished, personalized, and high-quality. From the lighting plan to the tile layout, every detail is intentional. That level of refinement is hard to achieve without a designer’s eye.


At the end of the day, our goal as your general contractor is to bring your vision to life—on time, on budget, and with craftsmanship you can count on. Partnering with an interior designer makes that process not only smoother, but more rewarding for everyone involved.


If you’re planning a renovation or new build, we’re happy to connect you with some of the talented designers we’ve worked with over the years. Because when the right team is in place, your home project becomes something truly special.

When planning a construction project, homeowners and businesses often face a key question: How do we move forward if we don’t have a final design or price? At B&G Construction, we offer two agreements to help clients take the next step in their project—a Design Contract and a Letter of Intent (LOI). Each serves a different purpose and applies at different stages of project development.
