What They Didn’t Teach You in Design School: Construction Basics Edition presented by Elizabeth Lord, CMKBD, MSRECM, CLIPP

Design schools teach the fundamentals of designing a space, but sometimes they fail to teach how to bring a design project to fruition in a real-world application! Strong construction knowledge is now essential for today’s interior designers, in order to design to a client’s timeline and their bottom line, as well as working effectively with a contractor on a jobsite. In this session, you’ll learn the key construction concepts every designer must understand to design spaces that are not only beautiful, but functional and financially feasible. Learn tricks like how to identify a bearing wall in the structure of a house, to understanding the sequence of events in a construction project. And how it can impact our designs from the very beginning!


You will learn the following:
1) Learn tips and tricks for identifying key construction components in a project that can impact your design choices.
2) Learn industry jargon and terminology to empower you to communicate effectively with your contractors.
3) Learn how to talk to about identifying scope of work when it comes to construction, and how certain choices will impact their budget.
