WORKING WITH A
General Contractor
NESTORATIONS.COM
Welcome!
I'm SO happy to share a little bit of design love with you!
Hiring a general contractor (GC) who knows the local construction codes is key if you're
thinking about a custom build or a larger home remodel with structural changes. GCs
are amazing at overseeing the construction of your project, however many would prefer
to leave some of the design decisions to the homeowners, which can definitely feel
overwhelming. Having an interior designer help with those design decisions and
choose materials like lighting, tiles, colors, and flooring can reduce the feelings of
sally
overwhelm and help keep the construction process going smoothly.
