      Thanks Kenn. I think that until you do something yourself, it can be hard to empathize. I know that I have underestimated what is involved in other professions. I love what I do, but it is hard work!

      You should consider going into Conveyancing, and consider house staging for sale, for starters, and build up to finally have your own business.

    Hi Claire! Thank you for all the wonderful videos! Can you please explain a bit more on an interior designer managing a project? I’m very familiar with new construction, subcontractors, the GC etc, but it sounds like an interior designer managing a project is what the GC would normally be doing with setting up the different trades, managing the timeline, etc.? I would love to understand this better. Thank you! 😊

    Thank you for all of this valuable info! I was wondering how I could best start a working relationship with painters, plummers and other professionals. Can I just ask them for a lower price if I refer my future clients to them? How does this exactly work? I hope you can answer me. Love, Donna

    • @ClaireJefford
      @ClaireJefford  Před 4 lety +2

      Hey Donna! I recommend finding reputable trades and having open conversations with them about how you can work together. This is best to do ahead of when you will need to hire then for projects.
      Build a good working relationships with open communication to establish how you will work together. For example, will you manage the trades or work alongside them? Will you be collecting payment or will the client pay them directly? If you are collecting payments, make sure you have the right insurance as you are responsible for their work and if any accidents were to happen in a client's home. Lots to consider!

    Thank you so much for sharing. Great Vid. I’m starting an interior design business focused on Kitchen and bath remodels. But my biggest concern is if I need a GC license or can i work through the GC I hire to the work? Or who is supposed to pull the permits? How does this part work, I don’t want legal problems. Any advice?

    • @ClaireJefford
      @ClaireJefford  Před 4 lety +1

      Hey there, you need to find out about the laws on this depending on where you live as it can definitely vary. Then you decide how you prefer to work and if it's with a GC, have discussions ahead of time to work out who is responsible for what. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

    • @ClaireJefford
      @ClaireJefford  Před 3 lety

      Hi Tricia. The answer to your question (albeit a year late because I'm only seeing it now!) is no. You can set up your business in the way that works best for you. Often I will be the one to initially meet with a new client for the consult and then had off the project (while overviewing details) to my lead designer.

    • @ClaireJefford
      @ClaireJefford  Před 5 lety +3

      Reach out to local designers in your area and see if there is an opportunity to collaborate together on a future project.
      Whenever you approach someone, always use their first name in the email (if that's how you are first reaching out to them) and start the conversation by complemrmting a specidif project you like of theirs and let them what you can do for them and how you can benefit their business.
      I get a lot of people emailing me who just say 'hello' and they clearly haven't taken the time to dig deeper to find out my name at the very least, they may be sending a bunch of eamils to many people and not personalizing them per recipient. It's very off putting and I tend to delete those instantly.

      If you have a passion for design or decorating and are business savvy with lots of determination, then you could start a business. Be aware of what you want to niche in or focus on, as design is much different to decorating and depending on where you live, you may need to get a degree. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
