Project Management for Interior Design Studios
Project management runs each interior project from brief to handover, with stages, drawings, purchase orders and site photos held on one project file. Designer, supervisor and accounts read the same status.
What the project file holds
Every live site, read together
All live projects list on one screen with their stage, their promised date and whatever is waiting on someone. A project that is slipping shows up in the weekly review, and not on the day the client calls. The owner reads one screen.
Questions the file answers
- The drawing version the carpenter should be cutting to
- Which approval has been waiting with the client longest
- Whether the plywood for this flat reached the site
- What the job has spent against what was quoted
- The snag list, and who closed which item
It runs the project and not the design
The team keeps drawing in AutoCAD, SketchUp or whatever the studio uses. Those files sit in the project with their versions, but nothing here draws a wardrobe. Change orders and stage-wise running bills are not part of it either.
Frequently asked questions
Can two designers work on the same project?
Yes. Tasks, drawings and approvals belong to the project and not to one person, so a designer on leave does not take the file with her. Who did what stays on the record.
Does the supervisor need a laptop at site?
No. A phone is enough for opening the day’s tasks, adding stage photos and marking work done from inside the flat.
What happens to the file after handover?
It stays. The BOQ, approved drawings, vendor bills and snag list remain available when the client calls about a shutter years later.
Is it worth using for three projects a year?
Probably not. A shared folder and one careful spreadsheet can hold three projects. The module earns its place when sites, carpenters and vendor bills outnumber what the team can remember.
