High-End Project Client Management
Builder-Retained Specification & Construction Coordination Support.
High-end residential projects demand a different level of client involvement.
More meetings.
More selections.
More revisions.
More reassurance.
Left unmanaged, that level of engagement pulls builders away from the jobsite and into hours of decision-making, follow-up, and design clarification.
High-End Project Client Management is a builder-retained service that handles the client-facing detail work so you can stay focused on construction.
I work for the builder — not the homeowner.
You maintain the client relationship and authority over the project. I support you by managing the decisions, documentation, and coordination that high-end clients expect.
What This Service Provides.
This service is structured around three primary areas of support:
1. Client Decision Management.
Structured selection guidance
Finish, fixture, and appliance coordination
Organized documentation of decisions
Meeting facilitation that keeps projects moving
Alignment between client expectations and project budget
The goal is to reduce indecision, minimize scope drift, and prevent last-minute changes.
2. Specification & Design Clarity.
Development of clear specification packages
Coordination between selections and trade requirements
Refinement of lighting layouts and switching strategy where needed
Identification of conflicts before they reach the field
High-end projects often require more detail than typical construction drawings provide. This layer of clarity protects both schedule and margin.
3. Construction-Phase Design Coordination.
Even with solid plans, construction generates situational decisions:
Routing options that affect built-ins or AV layouts
Electrical placement questions during rough-in
Adjustments that impact layout or intended use
Trade coordination questions tied to client expectations
In these moments, I provide design-intent input so decisions support the overall project vision — without directing construction means or methods.
When Builders Bring Us In.
After securing a high-end client who requires significant guidance
When a project includes extensive custom selections
When the builder prefers to focus on execution rather than client management
During preconstruction or early framing to prevent downstream revisions
This service is adaptable to the needs of each project. Scope is defined directly with the builder based on complexity and level of involvement required.
Boundaries.
To maintain clarity:
I am not the Architect of Record
I do not provide stamped permit drawings
I do not assume construction liability
I do not contract with the homeowner
I do not direct construction means or methods
I operate as a strategic extension of the builder’s team.
