Working With Builders & Designers on Window Treatments
What you'll learn
- How a trade partnership is structured.
- Why early specification saves money and rework.
- How allowances and trade pricing work.
- How we keep installs on the construction schedule.
Window treatments are one of the last things installed but one of the first things a client notices at walkthrough. Builders, general contractors, and interior designers who bring us in early get a smoother project: accurate specs, predictable pricing, and treatments that are ready when the keys are handed over. Here's how that partnership works.
Bring Us In Early
The best time to involve us is during planning, not after drywall. Early involvement means we can flag opportunities and constraints — motorized shade wiring, blocking for heavy drapery, recessed pockets, hard-to-reach glass — while changes are still cheap. It also keeps the design language consistent across every room.
Specification & Allowances
- We help write clear specs so bids are apples-to-apples and there are no surprises at install.
- Realistic per-window or per-project allowances keep client selections on budget.
- Trade pricing and a single point of contact simplify procurement across the whole home or building.
Coordinated, On-Schedule Installation
We coordinate measure and install dates around your construction schedule, sequence motorized wiring with the electrician, and stage delivery so treatments arrive ready for a clean final walkthrough. For designers, we protect your vision and your client relationship — we're the specialist behind your plan, not a competing voice.
