4. Supervises the Project – The approved designer is concerned in the day by day development of the project, making him or herself available for consultations, conferences, and questions from the site. Some designers will also hire the contractors for you and then build and manage the construction schedule. Across the project, your designer is your advocate, remaining true to your design and your financial position.
