New Build
Interior Design

As early as possible, ideally in the pre-construction and planning phase. Early involvement allows us to review architectural floor plans for function and aesthetics and suggest layout adjustments for flow and furniture placement before plans are finalized. This ensures your home supports your lifestyle, avoids costly revisions later, and gives your builder and architect a clear, cohesive design direction from the very beginning.
Our role is to design your home from the inside out, focusing on your lifestyle, daily experience, functionality, flow, and cohesive interior architecture. Builders and architects primarily plan a home from the outside in, ensuring structural integrity, code compliance, and construction feasibility.
When all three roles collaborate early, we elevate one another’s work, creating a home that is not only well built but also deeply personal, beautifully designed, and perfectly tailored to the way you live. In other words, early involvement ensures the design supports you fully and helps prevent costly changes later.

In a new build project, the architect, the builder, and the interior designer each play a distinct and essential role. Architects focus on the structural and exterior architecture of the home, developing the layout, engineering, window placement, rooflines, and ensuring the plans meet building codes. Builders focus on construction management, coordinating trades, scheduling, and bringing the plans to life on site.

As a New Build Interior Designer in Charlotte NC, Bodesign Studio plays a different but equally critical role. We focus on the interior vision, functionality, materials, finishes, and furnishings that make your home feel cohesive, intentional, and reflective of your lifestyle. We make key design decisions, create detailed plans, and specify every detail so your builder can execute efficiently and accurately. This includes refining interior architecture, planning furniture layouts and lighting, and designing elements such as built-ins, millwork, and wall treatments. We also guide every material and finish selection from cabinetry, flooring, tile, and stone to plumbing fixtures, lighting, appliances, hardware, and paint. Our role ensures that every interior choice supports a unified, harmonious, and beautifully designed home.

Bodesign Studio walks alongside you throughout the entire new build process, delivering clarity, direction, and value to both you and the full project team.

We guide every design decision, including:

• Architectural design guidance
• Space planning & lighting plans
• Exterior color & material coordination
• Flooring, tile, and countertops
• Paint, wall treatments, ceiling details, trim details and Fireplace
• Plumbing, appliances, and lighting
• Cabinetry design and finishes
• Hardware, interior doors, and more
• Furniture, window treatment, decor and styling accessories

Absolutely. We can join projects where the builder and architects are already selected. We integrate seamlessly into the team, providing the design direction, drawings, and specifications needed to keep the project moving smoothly.

Yes. During the early design phases, we establish a clear investment range for materials, finishes, and furnishings. As selections are finalized, we refine that investment so you always understand where your money is going and what to expect throughout the process. This ensures your new construction aligns with both your vision and your financial goals.

New construction homes can take from 2 to 4 years to complete depending on the home size, the builder schedule and the level of detail required in the project.

A successful new construction or custom home project depends on a clear process, strong collaboration, and consistent communication between the homeowner, interior designer, architect, and builder.

Communication: Clear, continuous communication keeps the entire team aligned, minimizes delays, and ensures that design choices, materials, and timelines stay on track. We also encourage our clients to share their needs openly from the beginning and to thoughtfully consider the questions we ask, this open communication helps us understand their needs and dream together about the project’s vision and direction.

Responsiveness: Timely approvals and feedback allow our design team and the builder to move forward without interruption. New construction involves many decision points, and responsiveness keeps the project flowing smoothly.

Trusting the process: Building a home takes time, coordination, and hundreds of decisions. Trusting the established design and construction process, and the experts guiding you, helps everything run efficiently and reduces overwhelm. A structured plan ensures that each phase builds on the last with clarity and intention.
