Hi guys, would like to share this as I've heard so many stories of my friends being cheated, simply because the "IDs" they are engaging are not really IDs, but contractors or project managers. More like design-and-builds. So they expect to deal with a proper ID from start to end, but start facing alot of issues, talking to sales and project managers instead, and having the renovation process go horribly. It's really infuriating. Saw this article going around recently and I think it's a clear overview of the differences. Have been researching a lot before I even approach any firms, and I think it's important to know whether it's a honest or dishonest place. stories.cromly.com/stories/article/guide-differences-between-interior-designers-contractors-and-design-and-builds Hope you guys find this useful too.
